I got this idea looking up some random fact about the 1906 World Series last night.

Look at this picture:

West_Side_Park_1906_World_Series.JPG

You can make any number of observations here. Infield is in. Lefty pitching to lefty batter. Bases loaded and the runners are waaaaaaaaaay off their bases compared to where they'd be today. It's Jack Pfeister pitching, which you can tell from wiki, but I figured out from the details in the photo and the box score from bb-ref. Didn't take too long to determine it was the top of the 6th in Game 3, probably Fielder Jones at bat before he pops out to the catcher.

So what I'd like this thread to be is someone posts a random picture of a baseball game and we figure out what's going on. Who's in?

I'll start with my first memory ever of the Orioles, when I was a 6 year-old boy in 1st grade.

Pirates - O's by the uniform. Frank, so it's obviously pre-interleague which strongly suggests the 1971 World Series. Only run Frank scored in game 1 was on a homer, so no. Maybe bottom of the 2nd in game two, scoring on Brooks' single to CF?

Very close.

Game 6. The winning run, scored on a walk-off, sacrifice fly.

That the game where Johnson kills the bird?

My first thought, too. Hmmm... low-def, so it has to be pre-2006ish. Looks like the Tigers, and according to the HOF uniform database looks like what they wore on the road up through 1991. Can't tell what the logo is behind the plate, maybe postseason, maybe All Star? Astroturf... Kingdome?

So, maybe a Johnson appearance with the Mariners in the 1989-1991 timeframe. I'm going to guess that's Mike Heath striking out swinging to end Johnson's no hitter here.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
