1975 was a great season. Game 7 was kind of a painful way to end it. We had a 3-0 lead in that game. Spaceman threw an ill-advised eephus to Tony Perez that made it 3-2. Rose knocked in the tying run and Morgan knocked in the winner.
Johnson screwed up royally by hitting for Jim Willoughby with 2 out in the bottom of the 8th. Willoughby had been untouchable to that point. My 17 year old self said it at the time and my 60 year old self still does.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough

Wasn't Willoughby one of the Buffalo Heads?
Johnson certainly had his favorites and his black sheep.
