The Phillies & Royals Had a World Series Rematch on Family Feud Way Back in 1980 [Video]
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals in the 1980 World Series. What I wasn’t aware of until today is that the Phils and Royals had an almost immediate rematch on the Richard Dawson-hosted Family Feud. In the glorious 22-minute video of the episode embedded above you will see the fashions and hair styles of big league ball players in 1980. I can’t tell if this was awkward because this is the end of the disco era or because these guys are baseball players. Either way, it is extremely enjoyable.
Philadelphia Phillies lineup: Larry Bowa, Garry Maddox, Mike Schmidt, Dale Unser, Dick Ruthven
Kansas City Royals lineup: Dan Quisenberry, Willie Wilson, Paul Splittorff, John Wathan, Dennis Leonard

Richard Dawson always acted like he just got done having a couple glass of scotch while a fourteen year old blew him.

Garry Maddox was one cool soul brotha. “Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, one-third by Garry Maddox”.
OBTW, it’s “Del” Unser. Good little left-handed hitter.

They did a similar one with the Dodgers/A’s when Ray Combs was hosting the show.

He was also a Vietnam vet.
Growing up, if you played outfield where I grew up, you wanted to be Garry Maddox. He’s still in the Philly area as an investor/entrepreneur.

Just heard an IDOT radio ad that claimed that 10 million people have died either by not wearing a seatbelt or drunk driving in the past 15 years. I don;t know if that’s in Illinois alone, but I’d be shocked at that number if it was globally, let alone nationally.
10 million?

Venus Flytrap playing for the Phillies is awesome. And in the intro of Mike Schmidt, he looked appropriately like the raging boner holster that he is.

The Calloway Kid. Jack Buck loved some Bake McBride. I was a fan also.
