The 1981 Dodgers season was split into two halves by the players' strike that wiped out roughly two months of the schedule in June and July. Los Angeles won the National League West outright in the first half under manager Tom Lasorda, then qualified again as a division half-season winner, which meant an extra postseason round — the first National League Division Series — was added against the Houston Astros, who'd won the second half. The Dodgers took that series in five games. The season is also

The Mayor's Trophy Game was a charity exhibition born out of civic pride and old-fashioned New York baseball rivalry — a way to let the city's teams settle bragging rights in a low-stakes summer game while funneling gate proceeds into sandlot baseball for city kids. It started in 1946 as a Yankees-Giants series for a trophy named after Mayor William O'Dwyer, with the Dodgers joining in occasionally, and it carried real stakes for fans even if teams often didn't send their best arms (rosters were

Announcers- Jack Buck- Harry CarayThe Cardinals' 1964 pennant race and World Series win, presented as a season-ending recap by the club's radio team of Harry Caray and Jack Buck. Caray had already been the voice of the Cardinals for close to two decades by 1964, having joined the broadcast in the mid-1940s; Buck, who would go on to call Cardinals baseball into the 2000s, was roughly a decade into that partnership. The pair narrate a collapse-and-recovery pennant race — the Cardinals trailed by as

Announcers- Lindsey Nelson- Bob Murphy- Ralph Kiner -SummaryThe 1969 Mets came into the season as a franchise that had never finished higher than ninth place in its seven years of existence, going back to a 120-loss debut in 1962. Manager Gil Hodges, a former Dodgers and Mets first baseman then in his second season running the club, had the team in third place and nine and a half games out as late as mid-August. From there Los Angeles's rebuild is not part of this story — the Mets instead won 38 of
