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.

Orioles beat Yankees 1982

Game one of a five game mid-week series vs the Yankees. Chuck Thompson with the call. Monday Sept 13th, 1982 the Orioles defeat the Yankees 8-7. Tippy Martinez strikes out Dave Winfield on Rick Dempsey's birthday to end game. Mike Boddicker's first career win. Detroit beats the Brewers on a walk off homer by Lance Parrish and the O's stadium goes wild when announced. The Orioles pull to just one back in the "All important loss column". Wait for it...wait for it... 1:10

Tell me this does not give you all the goose bumps? The O's go on to win 5 in a row vs the Yankees. This is for historical purposes and is an analog tape recording I did when I was 17 living in Rockville, MD.
