Orioles vs Yankees, May 27th, 1981

"...George Steinbrenner right now is being given a respirator by EBW".

"...and the Mayor of 33rd St., the Mayor tonight  - all Baltimore loves him, is Terry Crowley".

Just a couple of awesome one liners found on this recording.

The Baltimore Orioles hosted the New York Yankees in a late May three game series with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner a guest of Orioles owner Edward Bennett Williams. The Orioles swept the Yankees and won the third game in dramatic fashion.

How old were you in 1981? How fanatical were you when it came to watching or listening to the Orioles play? It seems as though it was my life back then. I was 16 in 1981 and in fact, was just turning 16 a couple days after this recording.
