Clint...I haven't watched that game in years lol
People forget that even though the Orioles lost the series, the city of Baltimore still had a parade for the club the very next day. Everyone was in uniform, wearing the orange alternate tops.
A few years ago, I purchased this 1979 Mark Belanger jersey from a lady, who as a young girl attended the parade with her parents and when it had all concluded, Belanger removed his uniform top and tossed it off the stage to her. I've always wondered if it was the same one he wore the night before.
P.S. Happy Birthday Brooks!!!
