If anyone wants to post a picture or video of a certain pitcher who once wore number 35 for the Orioles, feel free. Does anyone remember this, though?

Yes, I recall it.

I think a woman who had not been to an O's game in a very long time (might have been 25 years?) was entered automatically from an ATM transaction.

It also reminds me of Bouton's practical joke on Fred Talbot, who hit a $25,000 HR for the 1969 Pilots.  One of the best parts of Ball Four.

I wasn't able to see O's games then where I live, so that's Chuck Thompson with the call, and his Go To War Mrs. Agnes (twice). Is that Brooks along with him on the color? Definitely a Southern accent, so guessing him. 

Edit: sounds like he does refer to him as Brooks just as the video ends. Missed that.
