They Were Orioles?

[OFFNY]

Vern Stephens - Played on the Browns when they won their only pennant in 1944 and also had some terrific years with the Red Sox.

Eddie Waitkus - More remembered for nearly being killed by a crazed fan than anything he did in baseball.

Larry Harlow - Started the year with the Orioles but in June was traded to the Angels for Floyd Rayford. Had the game winning hit against the Orioles in Game 3 of the 1979 ALCS.

Rudy May - Won 18 games for the Orioles in 1977.

Ken Holtzman - Played briefly in 1976 before being traded to the Yankees.

SIDE NOTE: After that 1977 season in which May filled in admirably for the recently-departed Wayne Garland, he was traded in December for Don Stanhouse, Joe Kerrigan, and Gary Roenicke. When Peters and Hoffberger told Earl Weaver about the trade, Earl went absolutley ballistic, and he quit. He screamed, "You guys are ****ing crazy !!! I QUIT !!!", and ran out of the Orioles' front office where they were having a meeting (Jerold Hoffberger, Hank Peters, Weaver and his assistant coaches). Fortunately, Peters and a couple of Earl's coaches ran after Earl and coaxed him back.

The only reason why I know about that is because I remember reading about it up here in the Danbury News-Times newspaper, for which I was a paperboy at the time.

607 games spread out over 9 years. Most with the St. Louis Cardinals.

2 different stints with the Os:

> 33 games in 1988.

> 26 games in 1983....and one very memorable home run:

By the way, I think that is a very young Bob Costas. Not sure who is the analyst.

Bob Costas and Tony Kubek called the 1983 ALCS that year.

Same the team didnt get him, in his prime, like some of us was hoping on.

Hall of Famer Larry Doby spent spring training with the O's in 1958 but was traded just before Opening Day.
