      It was the first time two current MVP's (Brett and Schmidt) would face each other in a World Series. Willie Wilson and Willie Aikens probably set the record yet to be broken for two teammates in a World Series who did a herculean amount of cocaine during said series. Clearly it effected Wilson's play, who struck out with the bases loaded to end the series, but not Aikens, who became the first player in World Series history to had two multi home run games. Side note: I was a die-hard Royals fan in '80, but Phillies all star outfielder Bake McBride was from Fulton Missouri, about 100 miles West of St Louis, and his sister, niece and nephews were my neighbors when I was a kid, so I was happy for them when Bake homered in game 5 in KC.

    Fun fact: Phillies fans were so outraged that the network covered the Series, which meant that local broadcasting legend Harry Kalas (later to serve as the voice of NFL Films after the death of John Facenda who also did VO for the Donovan McNabb Campbell's Chunky commercials) couldn't that the next year MLB allowed local broadcasting teams to handle radio broadcasts.

    At the end of the season the Astros and Dodgers were tied for National League West Division title. They played a one game play off game in LA. The league championship series went 5 games, four of the games went into extra innings. Third baseman Art Howel and catcher Allen Ashby were playing with injuries and in one of the games center fielder broke is ankle. To top it off, in one of the games, the Astros turned a triple play. The Philly's manager protested the call and the game was halted for about 20
    minutes. Baseball Commissioner Bud Sealik ruled over ruled the umpires.

      Bud Selig wouldn't have been the commissioner at that time. I think, but not 100% sure, it would have been Bowie Kuhn. BTW, the Astros-Dodgers playoff game was set up by a 3 game sweep of the Astros by the Dodgers the last weekend of the season. The Astros went into LA with a 3 game lead with three games to go. The Dodgers had to win all three games to force a playoff, which was also played at Dodger Stadium. Then Joe Niekro pitched a great game and Houston manged to pull off the division win.

It's why I also remember thr 1985 World Series (just one year before I was born), although the 85 Series had a much better outcome for us Royals fans. Anyhow, when you're a diehard Royals fan you automatically remember all their WS appearances, and it isn't hard, as they've only appeared in 4--1980, 1985, 2014, and most recently, the 2015 Series which was our 2nd of 2 WS Titles.

    I will say how tense I was I couldn't watch the first 3 games because if KC lost I would sink into deep depression. KC lost the first 2 of 3 games but on Saturday/Game 4 I went to work with my dad at the NBC affilate in KC, which also had 2 of the most popular radio stations in town. During the game I went outside the TV station and hiked down the hill to the base of the huge antenna. I could hear the game as they had a outside speaker. As I trudged down the hill I remember Aikens hitting one of his home runs I knew we were going to tie up the series 2-2.
    It's amazing how many great ballplayers are on each team, plus at least 3 Hall of Famers in Schmidt, Brett, Carlton. KC's other greats include Frank White, Amos Otis, Hal McRae, Willie Wilson, Quiz, WIllie Aikens, Larry Gura, Dennis Leonard while Phillies had Rose, Bake McBride, Bob Boone, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Larry Bow, Lonnie Smith, Tug McGraw. I think Lonnie Smith was on a winning world series team every year lol.

I was an American League fan, so was rooting for the Royals, but was less disappointed that they lost than I was the year before when the Orioles lost. Maybe it was that both league championship series were more memorable than the World Series? The Astros-Phillies series, which you mentioned just in passing, was one of the wildest series ever, and the Royals-Yankees series had a lot of George-inspired off-field nonsense that led to Dick Howser getting fired by the Yankees and, five years later, a Royals World Series win.

    Forgotten? Not by me. This was the peak of my baseball fandom. I was a Pirates fan, but watched this WS, like any other. I’d keep score of the games. I knew every MLB player, batting stance, and statistics. I was 15 and enjoying baseball. My favorite sport.
    Fast forward to today, things have changed. My Pirates have been lousy. I don’t know one player on the team. Granted, I moved away from the area about 25 years ago. I tried to continue following them, but…did I say they’ve been terrible? And apparently there’s no hope in sight. But even worse, I haven’t watched a ballgame in years. The last game I watched, start-to-finish was the WS game the Cubs won to win the championship. And it was only because I was at a bar and it was on. Baseball has changed. I automatically know the Pirates are eliminated from the playoffs when pitchers and catchers report in February. Fans of other teams probably feel the same way.
    So yes, I remember the 1980 WS like it was yesterday. Can recite lineups for both teams. I’m lucky if I can recall who played in the fall classic last year.

    Great series. Mike Schmidt played one heck of a series...but he had been an iron man for the Phillies all year. Another interesting side note--the Pirates won the 79 WS. KC had some great years from 78-85...a pretty good run by a cheapo franchise.

      Phillies went to 5 nlcs series and 2 world series from 76 to 83, won 80, lost to the Orioles in 83, the forgotten world series in Philly, in 07 to 2012 they won 5 straight divisions, winning the way in 08 and losing to the 250 million dollar Yankees, that Phillies team was home grown. Rollins Utley Howard hamels pretty much most of the main guys and the others were small trades and rule 5 pickups. Joe Blanton? Their 08 deadline pitching matchup. He was great though. Shane victorino, rule 5, Jayson wertg low key trade from the dodgers, staff of Hamels Moyer Blanton and Brett Myers, who had a 12 pitch at bat off cc sabathia then a brewery, next year a Yankee, we seen him both years in the series. The crowd went nuts. He walked. 09 started the spending. Werth left for the nats, Raul Ibanez hits like 36 homers. Cliff Lee went 21 -3 won cy young so we grabbed him, Pat Burrell homegrown also, retired, they upgraded offense at 3td letting Pedro Feliz go for placido polanco, 2010 brings Roy halladay, perfect game in 2 months and a no hitter in the playoffs. Hunter pence, Jonathan papelbon, Roy oswalt were added. The Phillies if this era, should have won at least 2 maybe 3. Loaded, 4 aces, 5 guys hitting over 39bhimers Howard hit 45 every year 58 in 96, Utley with his 200 baseball iq and numbers Shane Rollins, an all Star team ironically, the team that was home grown win it all, and the next 5vyears although they went to the playoffs, won 102 games had every price in place, they found out how to get Ryan Howard out, or Howard couldn't lay off the high fastball. It's about who's hot at the right time, what ball bounced on this price of dirt, hits the bat a millimeter lower. The 2022 Phillies, and the 93 Phillies, 2 if the most unlikeliest teams to make it. And even though they lost, these two teams, at least in this city, will go down with the 80 and 08 teams that won it. 93, a bunch of old fat guys noone wanted, and kicked the shi+ outta the league just by playing like kids and having fun. Predicted to finish dead last, beat the 102 win braves, only to blow a 15 to 8 lead, and a lead I won't even talk about. But of course the 94 season never happened, and they never had a chance to repeat, or avenge the ghosts of Toronto in 1993. The most fun team to watch, not close to the 2022 2012 2011 2010 09 08 07 or even the 83 and 80 teams, that 93 team ended in a way we cant even think about it. The most fun beer drinking practical joke playing, joker's with mullets, should go down in history please do a video on that team. You'll surprise everyone. Btw tbeblue Jay's just won a w.s., and were a juggernaut, and won only because of 2 blown saves. Mitch Williams is the man, we wouldn't have made it there without his 45 saves and his personality in the clubhouse.

    As a Reds fan, I was still having a hard time watching Pete Rose play in a Phillies uniform, but this was a fun series to watch since neither team was expected to be there before the season began.

    Fun fact: this was just 3 years before the Phillies would make another World Series run by trying to manufacture another Big Red Machine. The 83 Phils had Rose, Joe Morgan, and Tony Perez but lost to theOrioles in the fall classic. Wait… was that fun? I can’t even TELL anymore.

    Can never forget this WS 1980 , I was 12 years old, and always remember Mike Schmidt hitting his 48th HR in Canada against the expos to win there Division, and watching Phillies beat Houston Astros in one of the Greatest Phillies comebacks in Championship history !! The 1980 Philadelphia Phillies were the Greatest baseball ⚾️ team on planet earth !!! They were the original FIGHTING PHILLIES !!! Love the Philadelphia 1980 Phillies !!!!!!

      Hey Gus… born in 83 I never knew this series was a series. However I am a huge baseball fan.
      I have read several other comments… The one thing I noticed most was the day games!!!!! The MLB needs to do that again.
      You were 12, and able to watch those games in full with no worries about bed time.
      The mlb needs to make a rule that the Sunday World Series game needs to a day game let them have Saturday night still or vis versa.
      Some times you need to make it appointment tv, rather than a steady 8pm est.

    I don't really understand where you get your premise that people have forgotten about this Series. The Yankees were not in it, but are sports fans less familiar with this one that '82, '83 or '84 with smaller market teams?
