World Series 1976

The 1976 season was the return of baseball the greatest successes of the dynasty after the fall season Classic. After a gap of twelve years, the New York Yankees was rebuilt in the American League champions of the former. After the team was bought by a businessman list the name of George Steinbrenner (in 1972) several gaps filled with some of cunning will certainly in trade and the third during the Saison'75. This year, the former Bronx Bomber "Billy Martin was the head and his crew consisted of several, including outside Thurman Munson, Chris Chambliss, Graig Nettles, Sparky Lyle and Jim" Catfish "Hunter (who had a good piece of its risk to Oakland).

It seemed appropriate that the multi Champions remains the defense of champions as the Cincinnati Reds again for his second time on Classic. Manager Sparky Anderson May not have a boat, but it was "The Big Red Machine", and he expired cylinder Tony Perez on first, Joe Morgan in the second, Pete Rose, in the third, Dave Concepcion on the Short Stop and George Foster, Cesar Geronimo and Ken Griffey on the lawn. So you also boasted one of the best rotations in all Pitchrange Major League Baseball. Gary Nolan, the pitching staff from ten to five victories, four Pat Zachry won ten, Norman and Fred and Jack Billingham twelve victories each. Their bullpen was just as well with Manny Sarmiento and Rawyl Eastwick, both with an ERA below 2 / 10 and a combined record of 16-6. The Reds also had a stable ball clubs in the league to win a hundred games in'75 eight, eighty-four-ten to twenty-eight in'74 and in'73.

Cincinnati hosted the river Opener series of the preliminary stage and showed their fans, the city was in an early Morgon Inning Homer, Perez added three of its own results and prescribe Gullett Pedro Borbon and a five global Bruisers of the victory of 5-1. Game 2 saw the same thing that many Perez snuck one in two in the ninth Griffey score 4-3 for the win. Hunter had retired the Reds' first two Batten, but New York Short Stop Fred Stanley Griffey's launch of the error on the roll, the National League Champs Back In Business. The Yankees May were well again, but dust and cobwebs was certainly appear. Since the series on "non-confidence if" environment of Yankee Stadium (because of the long process of two years, the modernization of the von Shea Yanks' 74-'76) continued to dominate the Reds home. Perhaps "The Babe" was not satisfied with his new decoration that the "Big Red Machine", the "Bronx Bombers" for a day. With the American League in the body is notified bruisers-rule in the series for the first time, Dan Driessen cracked a three and Homer - for-three, while in the Reds to a third victory 6-2. On the other hand, Jim Mason Short Stop managed only country s extends the Yankees (only in his career at bats I in a series).

Now on the brink of elimination, New York has decided to face competition, but the visiting team had another idea. Based on work with explosives two and three being Homer, the defending champions to cross another title with a 7-2 victory package. Yankees fans was destroyed on the ground (after all, lost in the Bronx was not acceptable), DVD was the stone but it is not already, and it would have its new dynasty, thereafter. Cincinnati was the first National League team to win back-to-back crowns, because the New York Giants had in'21 und'22. Seven of his guys on batted above, 300, quoted by the Bank, Foster's and 533, 429 Surprisingly, Anderson is not only one change for the series of nine of its regulars, forsaking the use of a prize or bruisers-Prize-runners and never a button, either in sequence or its orientation Batting Fielding. On the hill, its rotation boasted a combined 2.00 deserve Run above average and the franchise two years in total consisting of two hundred ten regular season victories, a record of 6-0 Championship Series play, and two periods of World Series triumphs.

1976 Communications And Media

New York television journalist Barbara Walters, 44, accepts a 5-year contract from American Broadcasting Company to co-host the network's nightly news program for $1 million per year. Despite the remark of a former NBC News president in 1971 that "audiences are less prepared to accept news from a woman's voice than from a man's," Walters has successfully been co-anchoring NBC's morning Today Show. Indianapolis-born WMAQ-TV Chicago television news co-anchor Jane Pauley, 26, succeeds Walters as news co-anchor of the Today show, a position she will hold until 1990.
The first word-processing program for personal computers goes on sale under the name Electric Pencil, but PCs are still in their infancy. Dedicated word processors made by Wang Laboratories begin to revolutionize offices with work stations that share central computers (see 1974; technology [Wang], 1951).

Fax (facsimile transmission) machines gain ground as second-generation technology cuts transmission time from 6 minutes per page to 3. The devices translate a printed page or graphics into electronic signals, transmit them over telephone lines, and print out signals received from other fax machines thousands of miles (or one block) away. Government offices, law enforcement agencies, news agencies, publishers, and banks are the major users. Prices fall for machines, but quality remains poor (see 1982).

1976 News on Technology

The First Altair Computer Conference opens at Albuquerque, N.M., to promote the Altair 8800 introduced last year. Priced at $379 in its basic version, it requires extra memory boards and other add-ons if it is to be used for anything useful or entertaining, the add-ons may double its price, and its open architecture allows others to make innovations of their own (it also invites competition) (see 1977).

Microsoft Corp. is founded at Albuquerque by computer whiz Bill Gates and his friend Paul Allen with the stated aim of creating a software business separate from any hardware company (see 1975; 1977).

Apple Computer Co. is founded April 1 in a California garage to produce personal computers. Stephen G. Wozniak, 25, and Steven P. Jobs, 21, are college dropouts who have spent 6 months designing the crude prototype for Apple I, using ideas, including the mouse, picked up from visits to Xerox Corp. technologists at their Palo Alto Research Center (Xerox Parc). Jobs was permitted to audit Stanford physics classes while still in high school, he has been experimenting with computer circuits for years, his father has told him to produce something that could be sold and do it within 30 days or get a job, and he has persuaded Wozniak that they could make the simple computer (essentially some microchips screwed to a piece of plywood) for $20 and sell it for $40. Jobs has raised $1,500 with help from Apple cofounder Armas Clifford "Mike" Markkula Jr., 33, he and Wozniak have agreed to pay the Stanford Research Institute $45,000 for a lifetime license to the mouse technology, and Wozniak uses the 4,000-transistor MOS Technology 6502 microchip as the basis for Apple II, which is marketed in a wooden cabinet (see 1977).

The first floppy-disk drive for small computers is shipped in September by Shugart Associates (see 1971; Seagate Technology, 1979).
