The 1980 Major League Baseball season concluded with the Philadelphia Phillies winning their first World Series championship. A strike during April 1–8 caused the final eight days of spring training to be canceled, but did not impact the regular season schedule. Umpire uniforms in both leagues were standardized, the American League's red blazer and blue pants and the National League's blue coats and pants were discarded and the uniforms became blue blazers, light blue short sleeved shirts, gray pants, and blue hats with "AL" or "NL" to show which league they were in. The American League umpires adopted numbers on their uniforms for the first time; National League umpires had numbers on the uniforms since 1970, though the numbers were now white on the blazers and blue on the short-sleeved shirts. The All-Star Game, held at Dodger Stadium, saw the National League defeat the American League, 4–2. The Phillies finished their regular season with a 91–71 record, defeated the Houston Astros in the 1980 NLCS, and defeated the Kansas City Royals in the 1980 World Series.
