To all you Oriole Fans wherever you are, it was such an Honor to Play in front of the Greatest Fans around during my tenure there. From 1978-1985 it couldn’t have been more fun as I look back and too top it off with that WS Championship in 83, Wow! This past weekend Honoring that club was So Much Fun and What A Weekend it was👍😊👌
I attended the crushing game 162 defeat in 1982 as a 7 year old. I left the stadium knowing they would win it all in 1983. The '83 team will always be peak childhood baseball memories for me.
I miss that voice Chuck Thompson he was the voice of the Orioles and the colts ain't that big hole Daddy missing man I missed it listen Chuck rest easy 💔🙏😥
Thanks to dad's press access, as a four year old I made it into the O's dugout for the that season. I remember holding my baseball when an angry, struck out Eddie Murry stormed past ignoring my requests for an autograph . This was also noticed by pitcher Gregg Olsen, who then took my hand, introduced me to Cal Ripken Jr., and got the entire dugout to sign my ball. I've still got the ball signed by the whole squad. Minus Eddie of course.
I saw Don Baylor hit to homers off the Yankees, in 1975, in New York, at Shea Stadium. Yankee Stadium was being remodeled in ‘74 and ‘75, so, the Yankees played their home games there. Also, saw Jim Palmer pitch a shutout there, that 2nd game of the DH. Great memories.
