The Giants finished off the Mets, 4-2, in Game 5 of the NLCS, stamping a three-game tear that rallied San Fran from an 0-2 hole in the series.
Nolan Ryan couldn't replicate his Game 1 magic and victimized by his inability to throw strikes.
This one suck after being up 2-0 but, never saw this playoff run coming in the first place. Brett was phenomenal in the post season and a small portion of the sting was eased as the Royals blanked the Yankees, 4-0, in Game 5 in the Bronx. No Subway Series in 1981.
