Baseball in the 1980s (https://sabr.org/journal/article/baseballs-forgotten-era-the-80s/) was wild, unpredictable, and unforgettable, and in this video, we break down every single MLB season of the decade in just 30 minutes. From the rise of dynasties like the 1980s Cardinals (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1570554/2020/01/29/the-1980s-cardinals-teams-were-uniquely-good-and-fun-to-watch-but-would-whiteyball-thrive-today/) and Dodgers (https://dodgersnation.com/throwback-thursday-remembering-the-1980s-los-angeles-dodgers/2016/09/08/) to the dominance of players like Rickey Henderson, George Brett, Mike Schmidt, and Dwight Gooden, this is the ultimate recap for fans of old-school baseball. We cover each season’s MVPs, Cy Young winners, World Series matchups, breakout stars, and historical moments — including Fernandomania (https://sabr.org/journal/article/fernandomania/), the cocaine scandal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_drug_trials), labor strikes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_strike), and the heartbreaking collapse of teams like the 1981 Reds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Cincinnati_Reds_season).
