The Dodgers 1981 Championship run is one of the gutsiets, clutch and most inspirational playoff runs in sports history!

Back in the 80's it almost seems like a L.A. team won a championship every year. The Lakers in 80, 82, 85, 87 & 88. The Dodgers in 81 & 88. The Raiders in 84.

The Dodgers' World Series title of 1988 was magical, but I cherish the '81 championship just a shade more - simply because it came at the expense of the Yankees. They spoiled my first two World Series (1977-78) as a youngster.

+misterpibb42 I feel the same way you do regarding the 1960 world series. I have been collecting Topps baseball cards dating back to 1970 ever since 2012. I must admit the Dodgers, Reds and Pirates had the most dominant rosters during the 70s. As for the AL, if it wasn't for the DH rule implemented in 1973 I would favor them just as I do the NL. Nonetheless, all the forthcoming world series I always hope the NL wins them. They only won a total of 19 since the DH rule was established.

misterpibb42 No problem dude. The only reason I think the DH was implemented was because the commissioner of baseball at the time (Bowie Kuhn) wanted there to be a difference between the NL and the AL. More and more criticism has surrounded it over time whether it should be done away with or the NL should adopt it. Personally, I would altogether stop watching baseball if the NL adopted it.

I was in college when this game was played. A classmate predicted that the Yankees will come back and win Games 6 and 7.

What happened to that Yankees' bullpen?" Predictably, he told me to shut up. :)

When Lasorda came out of the dugout at the end, his stomach preceded him by 3ft. Miracle he didn't fall down.

i saw this game and followed this team as a kid. As 79LARAMS said, only Sutton hated Garvey (they actually fought at Shea), the other teammates either liked him or tolerated him. Cosell's dissing of the Yanks before during and after this game is still classic and hilarious. The Dodgers of this era (77-81) deserve more respect than they ever received because of the strike year.

There are many similarities in the 1981 and 2020 Champions! True Blue since 1963.

in 1982, they sure did. As a teen I went to see a series in Philly with LA and Garvey would start at 1B...then once he got an at bat, he would be replaced by Marshall (the hitter...not the Relief Pitcher from the 70's) who was either on the bench or came in from RF. I can't remember how long that went on...but I know it was happening. He even went a few games only serving as a PH...streak stayed alive.

I love how they celebrated in the club house. Classic.

And god bless Tommy Lasorda!

love this so much . Gz up

TJ, a Dodger in '77-'78, a Yankee in '81, wrong place at the right time. Thats gotta sting.

I was there with my big brother

I was born on October 8, 1981 when the Dodgers won the World Series over the Yankees.👶🏾⚾

As a kid I followed the White Sox and cubs. When I saw the Yankees and Dodgers play my teams, I was in awe of them. I went to a Cubs game where they did beat the Dodgers with Fernando pitching in 1981. Not all of was lost lol.

Lou pinnella showing great sportsmanship. ..class act !

What a great team that year

Like the British empire at end of WW II, this game was the sunset of the Yankees empire. Little did I know I would be 30 years old before they won again in ‘96.

I just remembered a play that Fernando did in I think was in the 70’s maybe early 80’s when he coughs the ball on the mound and it was coming so fast it picked him up and he landed on his back almost all the way off the mound. Awesome play, if anyone has access to that it’s for sure worth posting.

dodgers did exactly what the yanks did to them in 1978, lose the first two then storm back with 4 straight. even though the dodgers seemed to be a sickening west coast version of the yankees, I was glad to see them win in '81 and '88 too when they beat the bloated A's.

I remember at 10 and a Yankee fan in Northern New Jersey and 37 years later taking Tommy John out of the game still ranks as the dumbest pitching move by any manager ever made.

And there he is my favorite #10 Mr. Ron Cey! Favorite Dodger third baseman Wes Parker, Ron Cey, and Turner.

Michael Littlewood Jim Gilliam played a solid Third Base from the late 50's until 1966 when he retired. You know, I saw Sandy Koufax pitch at Dodger Stadium in 1965 and I must say, I was mesmerized! I was 7 years old and Koufax was my Baseball idol. What charisma !!! What a competitor! He will always be the greatest Dodger to me!!! The years 1962~1966 are, to me, the greatest L.A. Dodger years! The Los Angeles Dodgers were the elite in Major League Baseball during that wonderful era!!! I was so fortunate to be around at that time!

I was a marine on guard duty during this game. I was in North Carolina at the time and a huge dodgers fan. I got off duty and made my way to the guard shack and the sergeant on duty was cursing. I asked what was wrong and he said damn dodgers. I said they are losing? He cursed and said they were winning 8-2...I left happy...

Reggie Jackson's final game in pinstripes before Steinbrenner made the worst business move of his tenure that turned the 1980s from a potential comeback period to a lost decade, in which the Yankee ball club never recovered for another 15 years.

***** That's one of the reasons why I think Steinbrenner shouldn't be in the baseball Hall of Fame. Between '81 and '95 the Yankees weren't in the playoffs. And Steinbrenner's constant meddling and interference was one of the main reasons why. There was no stability. Of course a lot of the Yankee players that played for him absolutely loved him and think he should be in the HOF. Why? Because he paid them so well! In fact, he overpaid a lot of the time. The way to the hearts of most professional athletes is through their wallets. Some things never change.

OrrvilleOSUfan Yes, the Dodgers had the advantage in pitching in '81. Especially with Valenzuela being the absolute sensation that he was that year. The Yankees also made some bad decisions in the '81 series. Like taking Tommy John out in the fourth inning of the sixth game with the score tied 1-1. Then the bullpen collapsed and that was it. Dave Winfield was a great player who was in his prime in '81 but he had a bad World Series.

OrrvilleOSUfan I'm a Mets fan and I never liked the Dodgers. Especially after they beat the Mets in the '88 NLCS. That one really stung. The Mets got a little bit of revenge for that almost twenty years later when they knocked the Dodgers out of the playoffs in 2006. But that playoff loss against the Dodgers in '88 was a tough and bitter pill for me and a lot of other Mets fans to swallow. Now that I think about it all these years later, it still hurts a little bit. The other day during the Mets game against the Dodgers they showed Orel Hershiser in the broadcast booth. Seeing him brought back some bad memories from that '88 season.

Keith also did for a few years in the early 1970's NBA basketball as well. In a sense Keith Jackson in the 1970's was the Joe Buck/Jim Nantz of ABC, he was the lead Play-Play man for all the big events (other than Monday Night Football)i.e NBA Finals, World Series and College Football. While Jim Mckay was the lead studio host/announcer for say the Olympics, Wide World of Series Horse Racing and say Golf. For Monday Night Football Cosell was the studio host/semi play-play man with Frank Gifford. ABC MLB Coverage in the late 70's and until 1981 was at best ok but not on NBC's level. By 1989 when ABC lost broadcasting MLB rights, they had a excellent crew of Al Micheals Jim Palmer and Tim McCarver.
