I'm talkin' baseball...the Birds, the Birds

Thanks John for the email and the positive words about this blog. I'm ashamed I only put one tape up and that was 2 plus years ago. I had uploaded a few tapes but never posted them. Here's a great tape with a full recording of "I'm talkin' baseball...baseball and the O's".

This tape is late in the 1982 and the O's were in the middle of winning 10 in a row and 18 out of 19 games.

The tape starts with the recap of Jim Palmer's one hitter vs. the Twins - you all know when this was during that 1982 year. Yes, I have chills right now as I'm listening as I'm writing. After the full rendition of the "I'm talkin' baseball..." we pick up with a post game show with Tom Marr recapping a win vs. the Yankees.

Jim Palmer's classic delivery

O's have won 10 in a row and 17 out of 18 after beating the Twins 5 - 4 who fell apart with errors (Gary Gaetti)

The O's beat the Yanks 8-7 and the O's pull within a game in the all important loss column when the Tigers beat the Brewers. This is awesome! Mike Boddicker first career win. Tippy Martinez strikes out Winfield to win the game. The O's have now won 20 out of 24.

From Baseballreference.com - the 1982 Orioles. Find the game and check out the box score.

I seemed to have a habit of switching to music a few times during commercials.

here's the link.

After listening, come back and let us know how you liked the tape and what memories you have it.
