1977 SUPERTEAMS FINAL

Honolulu, Hawaii

Commentators: Keith Jackson, Reggie Jackson & Bruce Jenner.

The Vikings, who lost their fourth Super Bowl just about a month earlier, lost their second Superteams final. The Reds had swept the Yankees in the preliminary and the Vikings downed the Raiders 6-1, so they both came into the finals on a high. In a very close bike race, Tony Perez and Johnny Bench just held off the hard charging tandem of Paul Krause and Ahmad Rashad to capture the first event. The Reds then won the next two events, before losing their usually weak swimming relay. The Reds clinched things with a 15-9 volleyball win. Ken Griffey recorded the second fastest ever obstacle course time at 21.95.
