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.


Please leave a comment and tell us if you remember this game or put down your best memory listening to Orioles games on the radio.

Freshman Len Bias game winning shot vs TN Chattanooga

From a cassette recording I did when I was 17 years old living in Maryland.
.
The last 1:42 seconds of Maryland vs TN Chattanooga in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Adrian Branch led the team but when he was covered, they put the ball in the hands of Lenard (as Lefty called him).

You'd think this game was the ACC championship or the final four the way the announcers called it.

Enjoy.

P.S. I see the typo in the video. Takes to long to fix. I need to wear my glasses. "This is the last 1:42 seconds..."
