The Royals defeat Baltimore 4 game to 3.
Dennis Leonard wins 2 games gets MVP
He will be eligible to pitch the world series game 1.
Philly beats LA 3 games to 2. Despite being out homered out scored and getting nothing from Schmidt.
Carlton wins 2 games. Longborg wins game 5.
Carlton won't be eligible to pitch till game 3.
I used as played lineups for Philly and LA.
I will have to come up with lineups for the world series .
Will update in a week or so.
Update on pitchers after checking actual dates the playoffs and world series was played.
I got it backwards. Carlton can pitch game 1 on 3 days rest. However Dennis Leonard can not. He would be on 2 days rest.
So pitching matchups will be as follows.
Game 1. Carlton vs. Splitorff
Game. 2 Longborg vs. Leonard
Game 3. Christensen vs. Colburn
Will be likely using a 3 man rotation. Might use a 4th guy if his team is up 3 game to 0. So possibly Kaat or Hassler
Game 1 world series. Phillies 4 Royals 0.
Carlton CG 4 hits 0 runs 4 K 1 BB 1 for 3 2B for Steve at the plate.
Splittorff 8 IP 3 Hits 1 Run 1 K 1 BB
Phillies get a first inning run on a leadoff 2B my Maddox. Sac bunt by Bowa moves him to 3rd. Sac FLY by Schmidt scores him.
Score stays 1-0 till the top of the 9th.
With Marty Pattin pitching after Splitorff was hit for in the bot 8. Pattin gets the leadoff batter. But walks Schmidt and Luzinski singles him to 3rd.
Mcbride runs for Luzinski and steal 2nd. Mingori replaces pattin after Johnstone is announced as the pinch hitter for Davey Johnson.
But the left hand reliever can't get the left hand hitting Johnstone out as he hits a 3 run pinch hit HR.
Littell finishes the inning.
Royals go down 1,2,3 in the 9th as Carlton gets back to back Ks of Cowens and Otis to win it.
Brett 1 for 4 2B.
Game 2 in KC will be Leonard vs. Longborg.
So they played the 1980 World Series in 1977.I wish it had really been this way in 1977. I hated the Yankees and Dodgers. Same for 78 too.

Isn't it spelled Lonborg? Interesting pitcher - a Cy Young for Boston and then years later pitched well for the Phillies. He also had some tough years, in 77 he was 11-4 but only made 25 starts - today that would've been worth a 25 million payday.Originally Posted by KeefeCato
