Signature Moments

The Trey Mancini ITP HR will be remembered by this generation of Orioles fans for a LONG time, right up there with all the details you can recall about Delmon Young's double.

Older Orioles fan have their special moments as well.  Let's hear your top ones from prior to 2014.

I'll start with a few:

1. Frank Robinson's run around the bases (1st to 3rd, then home on the SF) to win game 6 of the 1971 WS

2. PH doubles by Lowenstein and Crowley key a 6-run 8th to win G4 of the 1979 WS vs Pirates

3. Jim Kern throws away Lee May's bunt to an empty 3rd base on 6/10/79 to key 3-run rally

4. Decinces 2-run HR on 6/22/79 to beat the Tigers

5. Tito Landrum's HR on Britt Burns' 150th pitch to win 1983 ALCS vs White Sox

6. Devo's 2-run HR caps a 4-run rally to beat the Angels 11-9 on 7/15/89

7. Randy Milligan's 3-run HR gets the Orioles tied from down 6-0 in an eventual 9-8 win with the O's clinging to first in 1989

8. Roberto Alomar's single ties up G4 of the 1996 ALDS vs the Indians with 2 out in 9th

9. Roberto Alomar's HR wins that same game in the 12th

Let's hear yours!

All of those are great. I'm just going to list one that I was there for (and just feet from), as I only make it up to Baltimore once a year. 

It was Manny Machado's go-head line drive HR in the 7th inning vs. Boston on Saturday September 29th 2012. It landed just past my outstretched glove a few rows from the wall. The win put them in a tie with the Yankees heading into the final 4 games and when the dust cleared, into the Wild Card game and the Divisional Series, their first playoffs since '97.

It was also Brooks Robinson's statue unveiling day. All the HOF / statue honorees were on hand to congratulate him.

1971 and 1979 have been erased from my memory banks, for obvious reasons.

    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.  
    • Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
    • No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
