As sport, the series promised to be a clash between two powerful, well-balanced teams that were highly divergent in style and personality. From California's south came the young, efficient National League champions with their motto YOU GOTTA BELIEVE (borrowed from the 1973 champion New York Mets) and a Jack Armstrong image, represented by Third Baseman Ron Cey, who said...
