1978 New York Yankees: The Official World Series Film

Overview

In a rematch of the previous year's World Series, 1978's Fall Classic (the 75th edition of the World Series) was played between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, with the Yankees winning the series four games to two, repeating as champions and winning their 22nd World Series. This series had two memorable confrontations between Dodgers rookie pitcher Bob Welch and the Yankees' Reggie Jackson. In Game 2, Welch struck out Jackson in the top of the ninth with two outs and the tying and go-ahead runs on base to end the game. Jackson would avenge the strikeout, when in Game 4 he singled off Welch, which moved Roy White to second, from which White would score the game winning run on a Lou Piniella single to tie the series at 2-2. In Game 6, Jackson also smashed a two-run homer off Welch in the seventh to increase the Yankees' lead to 7–2 and a Yankees' victory to win the series.
