  1. That is really funny! If you read the book, you’ll see you are not the first to mistake me for Mussina.
  2. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I’m still looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Any other reviews out there? BTW, the book makes a great Christmas gift!
  3. For those of you who read the book, you know the connection between me and Mike Bordick. I was thrilled to get him a copy. Can't wait for his review! Any other reviews from the OH community?
  4. Glad you liked it! Spread the word.
  5. Has anyone finished the book? I am really curious to get feedback from Orioles fans.
  6. Yep, Sisson's on Cross St gets a shout out in the book. The Edgar Allen Porter was all-time. I hope you are able to get a copy of the book, might bring back some memories of the '97 team.
  7. That's great, thanks. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
  8. That's great. That sounds like a little after the timeline of the book but I'm familiar with all those old places. Were you able to get a copy of the book?
  9. Does anyone know if the team is planning a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Wire to Wire year?
  10. Great! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
  11. Hello all - long time lurker, seldom time poster here. I recently embarked on a project that I thought people here might enjoy. During covid I started jotting down memories to share with my daughter, and as I organized them I realized that many occurred during the summer of 1997. It was a year that I first moved to Baltimore and of course the Orioles went wire to wire in first place. So what started as a walk down memory lane turned into a memoir: Amazon.com: Wire to Wire: A South Baltimore Memoir eBook : McArdle, Patrick: Kindle Store So far, the book has been met with a tremendous response. It is currently the #1 new release in the Baseball Essay & Writing category on Amazon (beating out Paul O'Neill's book, which makes it all the sweeter). It has plenty of Orioles history in there, from Mussina's near perfect game to David Dellucci's intentional walk to Jeff Reboulet homering off Randy Johnson in the Division Series. That year has always been a special one in Oriole's history. It also is a snapshot in time of South Baltimore / Federal Hill from the perspective of middle age looking back on young adulthood. If you know anything about the neighborhood or the old Cross Street Market, you might appreciate some of the references. I hope you all enjoy it!
