Might never be another staff all playing together like that ever again. Crazy to think they never won more WS titles. Unfortunately for them, a Yankee dynasty was forming at the same time.

I think a lot of that was because of the increasing number of playoff rounds...makes it much more difficult to get through- Bobby Cox took a lot of flak for that. It speaks to the strength of those Yankee teams.

El Birdos- the Cardinals teams of the late 60's.

The Milwaukee Brewers had the best power hitting team in baseball in the late 70s through the early 80s. Between 1978 and 1982, no team in baseball hit more home runs than the Brewers (873; Baltimore was #2 with 758), scored more runs than the Brewers (3,806; Boston was #2 with 3,666), and only the Baltimore Orioles (445-304) had a better record than the Milwaukee Brewers (431-325) in all the Major Leagues. The Brewers had the best Pythagorean winning percentage of all teams in the Majors (.575; the Orioles, Dodgers and Yankees tied for second best at .563). This only enhances my misery as a Brewers fan, knowing we had the best team in baseball for those years, yet no World Series titles to show for it.

And the nicknames for these teams?

Between 1978 and 1980, George Bamburger was the manager. And the nickname was "Bambi's Bombers".
From the second half of 1980 through 1981, Buck Rodgers was our manager.

In 1981, when Harvey Kuenn took over the team, and led our team to the World Series, the offense was known as "Harvey's Wallbangers".

Those two would make for interesting choices.

One I always disliked--"We are Family" (1979 Pirates)

The G-men of the Tigers in the 1934-35 pennant winning teams: Greenburg, Gehringer, and Goslin.
