It's really difficult for me to realize that the last game at Memorial Stadium was 29 years ago today.
My good friend (RIP) worked for a radio station and had Press Credentials, so he had a professional photographer accompany him that beautiful day to capture some wonderful photos (here are just a handful):   Fittingly, Brooks and John Unitas threw out the first pitch (using their respective balls) and if you refer to post 2147 where I showed a Panoramic Photo of all the players who came out onto the field afterwards, here is a view of what that looked like from above:   And finally a photo of me (in the middle) and a couple of my good friends after it was all over (taken by an Usher):

1966 Orioles
This will be my last post for a few days, as I'm packing up the cars for the long trip to our winter home in Florida. We head out tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to the drive, but I don't miss the snow all winter.
 Since the theme the last couple days has been the 1966 World Series team, here are a couple more items from that year. 1966 Season Summary report 1966 Season Summary.jpg A couple more third party World Series scorecards 1966 World Series (News American).jpg 1966 World Series (Block Letters).jpg Menu from the Hit & Run Club 1966 Hit & Run Club Menu.jpg

I really like this advertising piece today that as put out after the 1966 World Series win. It’s a plastic National Bohemian Beer advertising sign with an easel back for display purposes. I posted a similar advertising sign from Clint’s (ksfarmboy) collection (post #377), but as you can see this example has the 1966 World Series crown along with the kingly robe.

OTD in 1983, Tito Landrum (who was a late season acquisition) hit a Game Winning HR in the 10th inning off Britt Burns to propel the Orioles over the White Sox in the ALCS and into the World Series..
Here is a signed game ticket from that contest:

Bill, I’ll never forget that game. Wind is blowing hard, Tito Landrum up, no chance of a home run here. Crack, it’s a home run! Awesome memories and great ticket!

Day 283 (October 9, 2020 – 283)
In Baltimore they were getting ready for the 1970 World Series. It wouldn’t be till the third game of the Series to be played at Memorial Stadium. This is one of the directional signs that was used to lead the fans to the stadium. 1970 World Series cardboard directional sign. Day 283 a 1970 Sign.jpg October 9th the day prior to the start of the 1970 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds took the National League East by 14 ½ games and the Orioles won the American League East by 15 games. Sparky Anderson said, “Our scouting report is that Baltimore is the best defensive club in baseball, has the best front line pitching in the game and is third or fourth best offensive team.” Man, you don’t know how excited I was, and nervous too, since my Orioles lost to the Mets in ’69. The Orioles were once again playing in the World Series. UPI Telephoto, taken on 10/9/70, of Brooks putting on his glove in the Riverfront Stadium dressing room before a workout there. Day 283 b.jpg Day 283 c.jpg I like what Pete Rose said about getting to play the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series, “Heck, I’m so excited about playing these Big Bad Birds that I’d go out there naked.” This is the Orioles program for the 1970 World Series Day 283 d Publication 1970 Orioles World Series Program 1.jpg

I’ve always wanted to find the photo of Brooks that was used on the cover of the ‘70 WS program. I have seen the picture for sale one time, but forgot to bid or something and was disappointed in myself really. The photo was not in the best of shape, but it was it!!

Love all the 1966 World Series Items. It reminded me of a related item I have. It is The Sun Magazine insert from April 9, 1967 showing what looks like Brooks in the famous shot of him leaping in the air, but shot from the upper deck from Memorial Stadium.

On the famous photo of the "leap for joy" from behind the scene of the last out of the '66 WS photographer Paul Hutchins recalls that, “I remember looking at McNally in the viewfinder, and seeing something coming from the left,” he said. “I didn't know it was Brooks, in midair, until I got back to The Sun and developed it." Mr. Hutchins later described the photo as "the most important one I took in 42 years at the paper.”

1970 World Series - Game 1
Day 284 (October 10, 2020 - 284)
On a Saturday, October 10, 1970, was the 1st game of the ’70 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Cincinnati Reds. Both the Orioles and the Reds both won over 100 games this season; I believe the odds were about even on who would win. It was an away game at Riverfront Stadium and was the first World Series game to be played on artificial turf. I remember Brooks was asked by a reporter about playing on Astroturf for the first time before Game 1 and his reply was, “I’m a Major League third baseman. If you want to go play in a parking lot, I’m supposed to stop the ball.” Interesting: The Jackson 5 preformed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the game. The pitchers for Game 1 were Gary Nolan for the Reds and Jim Palmer for the Orioles. The Reds had a 3-0 lead on a Johnny Bench first-inning single and Lee May’s two-run homer in the third over the left field wall. Thankfully Palmer got in a groove after that home run. The Orioles came back with a Powell two-run homer in the fourth and an Elrod Hendricks solo shot in the fifth. Brooks hits a home run in the seventh with the go ahead run and ultimately the needed run to win Game 1. Day 284 Boog Powell Game 1 (2).jpg Day 284 Photo 1970 MVP coming home Game 1.jpg A very memorable play was Ty Cline, the batter, hit a chopper right in front of home plate and the play at the plate with Elrod and Carbo. Day 284 Publication 1970 Sunday News October 11 1.jpg Day 284 Publication 1970 Sunday News October 11.jpg Commenting on Brooks play off of Lee May down the line throws out at first Quote: “When you play with Brooks, you just go to the bag and hold the glove out. He’ll get the ball there, you always know that.” – Boog Powell Harry Dalton, the Orioles GM, told Weaver after Game 1, “That’s got to be one of the 10 best plays Brooks ever made, Earl.” Weaver didn’t agree. “I’d put it in the top 100 plays,” then corrected himself. “Those hundred are only since I’ve been here.” Of course Earl joined the Baltimore Orioles in 1968. You have to love Earl Weaver… Orioles win 4-3. The winning pitcher of Game 1 was Jim Palmer

1970 World Series - Game 2
Day 285 (October 11, 2020 – 285)
On Sunday, October 11, 1970, was the 2nd game of the ’70 World Series. Game 2 was an away game played at Riverfront. The pitchers for Game 2 were Jim McGlothlin for the Reds and Mike Cuellar for the Orioles. Again, the Reds jump to an early lead; by the third inning it was already 4-0. Thankfully, slowly but surely the Orioles came back and took Game 2. Day 285 Don Buford.jpg Orioles win 6-5. The winning pitcher for Game 2 was Tom Pheobus.

Hi guys. We made it to Sarasota and are all settled in for the winter. A few days ago, Bill posted a nice photo of Tito Landrum's historic HR. I thought it was a good time to post of couple more Tito items.
1984 Roberta Howard Hand Painted Baseball (Tito Landrum).JPG Landrum, Tito 2 - Copy.jpg It also made me think, are there any other players, that played only briefly for the Orioles, but are remembered for a moment in O's history? I'm guessing Tito Landrum would be #1 on that list. Ryan Minor comes to mind for replacing Cal Ripken, when the streak ended. Minor, Ryan 1 - Copy.JPG I would like to hear any thoughts from you.

The game was played in Memorial Stadium. I had the opportunity to attend this game and still have all the souvenirs my parents purchased for me from the time at the Stadium. All the items are in relatively poor shape, but I kept them all the same. A few days after the game I cut out all the pictures of the Oriole players in my World Series program and put them in a scrapbook. Thankfully, the program is relatively inexpensive and acquired another years later. Of course, as you probably already know, the O’s lost Game 4, but it was an exciting time. The pitchers for the game were Jim Palmer for the Orioles and Gary Nolan for the Reds. Day 288 Photo 1970 Coming to bat.jpg Day 288 Photo 1970 WS.jpg Reds win 6-5.

Tony Tarasco
While Tito Landrum will always go down in Orioles history for his dramatic HR in the 1983 playoffs, perhaps one of the lowest points in O's history took place in the 1996 ALCS series.
Tony Tarasco didn't play for the Orioles for very long, but will always be remembered by Orioles fans as part of the infamous Jeffrey Maier catch / interference play in game 1 of the 1996 ALCS. What bothered me the most, was not a young kid doing what kids do in the excitement of the game, but how Yankee fans hailed him a hero, endorsing and praising the interference. Here's the play, before replay and challenges were an option. Interesting, HOFer Joe Morgan, who just passed away, was part of the broadcast. Warning: Some parts of the video may be too disturbing for real Orioles fans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVNlvnsQ828 Tarasco, Tony 1 - Copy.jpg Benitez, Armando 1 - Copy.jpg Johnson, Davey 11 - Copy.jpg

1970 World Series - Game 5
Day 289 (October 15, 2020 – 289)
On Thursday, October 15, 1970, was the 5th and final game of the 1970 World Series where the Orioles clinched the Series in five games. The final game was played in Memorial Stadium and it was questionable whether the game would be played at all due to rain. The outfield was wet, and the game started in a light drizzle, but ultimately the rain subsided, and the game was on... Fair or foul Brooks snags Johnny’s liner in the 9th.

Winning pitcher for Game 5 was Mike Cuellar. Brooks Robinson won the World Series MVP Award hitting .429 for the Series and made some great defensive plays (to B’more fans - typical plays) in the field. After Brooks was named MVP and was presented a new car, Johnny Bench said, “If we had known he wanted a car that badly we would have chipped in and bought him one.” Quote: "He's not at his locker yet, but four guys are over there interviewing his glove." - Rex Barney to reporters looking to interview Brooks Robinson after the 1970 World Series Here’s a couple more Cincinnati Reds quotes relating to Brooks from the 1970 World Series: Quote: "I will become a left-handed hitter to keep the ball away from that guy." - Johnny Bench Quote: "Very nice (play) . . . where do they plug Mr. Hoover in?" - Lee May Quote: "Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league." - Pete Rose
