1977 World Series G6 - Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Yankees - Radio Broadcast / In Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, the New York Yankees faced the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees, managed by Billy Martin, were on the verge of capturing their 21st World Series title, with Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson leading the offensive charge. Meanwhile, Tommy Lasorda's Dodgers sought to extend the series and force a Game 7. Starting for the Yankees was Mike Torrez, while the Dodgers sent Burt Hooton to the mound. The Dodgers, who had a potent lineup featuring Steve Garvey and Ron Cey, needed their offense to step up after losing momentum in the previous games.
The Dodgers struck first, scoring two runs in the first inning on a triple by Steve Garvey, but the Yankees answered quickly. In the second inning, Chris Chambliss hit a two-run homer to tie the game. By the fourth inning, Reggie Jackson launched the first of three home runs, giving the Yankees a 5-3 lead. Jackson followed up with two more home runs in the fifth and eighth innings, securing his place in history with one of the most iconic World Series performances. Mike Torrez held his ground, despite giving up a solo home run to Reggie Smith in the third inning. The Yankees' defense, led by Chambliss and Bucky Dent, turned key double plays to keep the Dodgers at bay.
With an 8-4 victory, the Yankees clinched the 1977 World Series, their first championship since 1962. Reggie Jackson, earning the nickname "Mr. October," was named World Series MVP for his three-homer performance in Game 6.
