Game Five 1982 World Series

Brewer Classics reran Game Five of the 1982 World Series last night.

Two things that blew my mind:
Mike Caldwell gave up 14 hits in 8-1/3 innings and only allowed four runs...and got the win.
Another day game for a World Series

Three things that I remembered that I shouldn't have forgot:
The 1982 version of Robin Yount was really, really good
Gorman Thomas and Charlie Moore were pretty good defensive outfielders
Joe Garagiola, Dick Enberg, and Tony Kubek were a great broadcast team

Two things that I am trying to figure out if it was better or worse in 1982:
The screen didn't have a bunch of graphics
Replays were saved for big moments. There weren't a lot of replays of a routine grounder to Ken Oberkfell at third base.
