Then Tom Hamilton calmly said, “after the Orioles bat in the bottom of the inning”. Classic Herb!

OTOH, if we have to listen to those two every post-season, we may want to be.

Seriously, watching the post-season used to be the highlight of my sports year. Now I can’t watch unless I turn the sound off.

Ump ruled it a wild pitch of Lenny websters glove

My personal favorite from that year, Chris Hoiles. Between Hoiles and Mickey Tettleton, catchers for the O’s were always my favorites. And thats why when I see Tettleton’s sun light it up as QB for Ohio U I feel real old.

Benitez and Ponson. Two of the biggest douches to ever pitch for the O’s.

Not the greatest player ever, but he was a pest. Always liked him.

He was a tough opponent.

Can’t be the survivor his own self, since he was a Giant in 97.

I did love that team though. Nice find Aaron.

And this is what I get to dwell on until 8:30pm
Go O’s

alang: “I was 15 and it remains the most deflating moment.”

Two perfect examples of why the great game of baseball is absolutely magical.
Good luck Orioles!

Cal was 37, and in his penultimate season as an everyday player. In those post-Senators, pre-Nats days, Washington media covered the Orioles a lot. One of the big controversies (perhaps the biggest) was, when would The Streak end? When would Cal get a little rest?
