That '80 Royals team was so far superior to the Phillies, it really wasn't close. I remember thinking, after the Phillies beat Houston in the NLCS, that we were going to run away with the series (Hell, we just swept the best team in Baseball - the Yanks). Yeah, not so much.................

Quiz lost 2 games in that Series, and Willie Wilson couldn't hit his ass with either hand - he struck out ( i think) a dozen times. Not to mention, I believe we lost a couple games due to some horrific fielding blunders. Willie Aikens and A.O. played their asses off.
