...Yankees, who lack farmclub talent, the team would have been crippled by the early-season miseries of Pitchers Don Gullett and Catfish Hunter had not the remarkable left arm of Ron Guidry saved the day. Guidry finished with 25 wins and just three losses, one of the best records in modern baseball history. There were other problems-there always are with the Yankees-but the team created by Owner George Steinbrenner's money managed to make one of the most remarkable comebacks in baseball history.

Lyle, who won two of the three games the Yankees stole from the Royals, notched his third 1977 post-season...
...second, Gullett got himself in trouble with another free ticket, this one issued to Royal catcher Darrell Porter. Frank White handcuffed Graig Nettles with a shot to third, and both runners were safe when the third baseman's throw to second was late...
