MVP:
Reggie Jackson
Why the Yankees won: Reggie Jackson's five HRs set a WS record, plus Mike Torrez and Ron Guidry threw three CG wins.
Why the Dodgers lost: The Dodgers pounded nine HRs of their own (three by Reggie Smith), but losing Game 1 in the 12th put them behind before they ran into Torrez, Guidry and Mr. October.
Memorable moment: After hitting two HRs earlier in Game 6, Jackson hit his third of the game in the eighth, a 475-foot shot off Charlie Hough.
Key stat: 4-for-4 vs. 4. The number of home runs hit on consecutive swings of the bat by Jackson, doing it against four different pitchers.
