1978 Major League Baseball season

Common card · No. 499710

The 1978 major league baseball season began on April 5 while the regular season ended on October 2. The postseason began on October 3. In the 10th iteration of this World Series matchup, the 75th World Series then began on October 10 and concluded on October 17 with the New York Yankees of the American League defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League, four games to two, to win their 22nd title in franchise history, winning back-to-back World Series. The 49th All-Star Game was held on July 11 at San Diego Stadium, home of the San Diego Padres. The National League won, 7–3, and was the seventh win in what would be an 11-game win streak that lasted until 1983. The Yankees overcame clubhouse turmoil, a mid-season managerial change, and a 14-game mid-July deficit in the American League East en route to the championship. All four teams that made the playoffs in 1977 returned for this postseason; none of the four returned to the postseason in 1979.
