About 1974 World Series Game 3
Card #463 covers Game 3 of the 1974 World Series, played October 15 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum after the clubs split the first two games at Dodger Stadium. Catfish Hunter, who had closed out the opener in relief, started this time and worked 7⅓ innings for the win, with Rollie Fingers protecting the lead. Oakland broke it open in the third when an error by catcher Joe Ferguson let Bill North score, and Joe Rudi's single drove in Sal Bando for a second unearned run; a fourth-inning run made it 3-0 before Al Downing was lifted. Dodgers relievers blanked Oakland the rest of the way, but solo home runs by Bill Buckner in the eighth and Willie Crawford in the ninth pulled Los Angeles only as close as 3-2 — the third straight game of the Series decided by that identical score. The win put Oakland ahead two games to one on its way to a third consecutive championship.
