Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

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.

OTD in 1983, Mike Boddicker pitched a complete game victory vs. the Phillies giving up only one run on three hits winning 4-1....

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.

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.

I would like to hear any thoughts from you.

Good afternoon,

Below are photos from a 1959 Phillies Cigar Orioles Story booklet, including a page with a still young Brooks.

Hi Alan,

I'd say Steve Finley, Pete Harnish, and Curt Schilling, all too briefly Orioles before the infamous Glenn Davis trade.

I'll nominate pitcher Dave Johnson who was pressed into service after Pete Harnisch stepped on a rusty nail the night before a key start in Toronto by pitching seven strong innings & leaving the game with a 3-1 lead in the 8th inning.

Here is the plate umpire's lineup card from that memorable game as well as a display of the '89 Why Not? season located in the Orioles executive offices in 2019...The Orioles borrowed it and placed it inside the case...

Great Game 3 items Mark! I know I posted this early on in this thread, but here is the lineup card that hung in the Orioles' dugout that afternoon & was retrieved postgame for a fan by an usher:

The first wire photo reminded me of the cover of the Sports Hero book on Brooks Robinson which I checked out from the school library to do a book report back in 5th grade.
