  1. Great video clip. Brought back many memories. Saw first pro baseball game at Memorial Stadium in 1953. Little League baseball team went to see the International League Baltimore Orioles (Phillies AAA affiliate). Took all of my sons to see a game at "the stadium". One now a life long O's fan and another a "water cooler fan".  Future father-in-law helped build the upper deck extension. A lot of Baltimore sports history rapped up in that palace. Both Orioles and Colts. Aah, 1983, the year Home Team Sports (HTS) brought every Orioles game to TV in distant lands, like historic Southern Maryland. Last WS champion.

  2. Walk followed by botched DP oppurtunity puts runners on 1 & 2. Then nicely turned DP puts runner on third. GRod then Throws curve to backstop allows runner to score. Holt to mound followed by double off monster. 4-0 Sox. Hyde to mound and pulls GRod.  This inning didn't work out to well. 70 pitches. Looked pretty sharp most of the time, but too many mistakes in the end.

    Nevermind on O'Day and Miggy, didn't see the retired for 5 years part. 

    Bob Nieman. Played LF for 56-59 Orioles. Had a 140 Ops + in his four years. Contended for AL batting championship in 58, but got hurt and missed qualifiying by 30 or so plate appearences. Played his rookie and second year with SLB. Hit homers in first two ML at bats. Didn't count that because it was with Browns in 51. Just a forgotten man but "Pretty Good."
