Mickey Rivers KOD15 World Series MVP

• Mickey Rivers - .448, 13 hits, 4 runs, 4RBIs, HR – was named Series MVP.
• Pete Rose finished the Series hitting .481 with a .588 OBP.  He probably would have been MVP if Cincinnati had won the Series.
• George Foster led all hitters with 10 RBIs.
• Bobby Grich, Jim Spencer, Bob Oliver, Mickey Rivers, Ken Berry, and Leroy Stanton entered the Series with a combined 3 HRs for the entire season, including the LDS and LCS. Yet they combined for 7 HRs in the World Series.
• Despite finishing the season 2nd to last in the AL in number of HRs hit as a team, California out-homered Cincinnati 9-5 in the World Series.      
• Tanana’s loss in Game 2 and Messersmith’s loss in Game 3 were only the 2nd loss for each on the season, including the entire post-season.
• Tom Seaver’s loss in Game 6 and Don Gullett’s loss in Game 7 were only the 2nd loss for each on the season, including the entire post-season.
