For me the 70’s and 80’s were the best years for baseball in general as far as MLB I’d pick the 80’s and the style/brand of baseball played then. Really loved those teams like the Royals and then Cardinal teams, gave me an appreciation for the small ball aspect of the game emphasizing Speed, pitching and defense, base running, stolen bases etc….
The Angels had a fun team to follow during the 80’s as well (Carew, Jackson, Grich, Downing just to name a few) managed by Gene Mauch. Really came close in 82 then again in 86. Loved those teams.
