"1978 Regular season, Indians at Yankees, sept. 30th , 1978.
That was the next to last regular season game, with the Yankees holding a one game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East. On the next day, in the last game of the regular season, the Yankees lost against perennial "Yankee killer", Cleveland southpaw Rick Waits : in the meantime the Red Sox won against Toronto, forcing a memorable one game play off on Monday at Fenway Park (decided by the famous Bucky Dent HR).
Here is only the beginning of this game.... a long one. Nice to see great players in action."

The Cleveland Indians actually playing in an important game in 1978. An opportunity to knock the New York Yankees out of the AL East divisional race. Playing the spoiler was about the best that the Indians could do in the 1970s. They were expected to finish last pretty much every year during that period, as well as the 1980s, even though they did have some real All Star talent like Buddy Bell, Andre Thornton, and a few other Indian players, especially in the 1980s.
