This week on REWIND we look at the great enduring sports images of 1978 - the Yankees coming from 14 games back to beat the Red Sox in a thrilling 1-game playoff, Affirmed beating Alydar to win the Triple Crown, Jimmy Connors’ beating Bjorn Borg at the US Open Finals, which was played for the first time at the National Tennis Center in 1978.  Plus the Bullets/Supersonics 7-game NBA Finals, the race for the NBA scoring title between George Gervin and David Thompson, plus the story of Lyman Bostock, the young star from the California Angels who tragically lost his life in the summer of ‘78.

I’m joined by the NY Times’ legendary columnist Harvey Araton, who reported on many of the biggest events of 1978 and also tells us about his reporting on the ‘92 Barcelona Dream Team, with Magic, Michael, Bird, and Barkley.
