1970 World Series - Game 5
Day 289 (October 15, 2020 – 289)
On Thursday, October 15, 1970, was the 5th and final game of the 1970 World Series where the Orioles clinched the Series in five games. The final game was played in Memorial Stadium and it was questionable whether the game would be played at all due to rain. The outfield was wet, and the game started in a light drizzle, but ultimately the rain subsided, and the game was on... Fair or foul Brooks snags Johnny’s liner in the 9th.

Winning pitcher for Game 5 was Mike Cuellar. Brooks Robinson won the World Series MVP Award hitting .429 for the Series and made some great defensive plays (to B’more fans - typical plays) in the field. After Brooks was named MVP and was presented a new car, Johnny Bench said, “If we had known he wanted a car that badly we would have chipped in and bought him one.” Quote: "He's not at his locker yet, but four guys are over there interviewing his glove." - Rex Barney to reporters looking to interview Brooks Robinson after the 1970 World Series Here’s a couple more Cincinnati Reds quotes relating to Brooks from the 1970 World Series: Quote: "I will become a left-handed hitter to keep the ball away from that guy." - Johnny Bench Quote: "Very nice (play) . . . where do they plug Mr. Hoover in?" - Lee May Quote: "Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league." - Pete Rose

Day 290 (October 16, 2020 – 290)
As Oriole fans we’d see Brooks Robinson make the same type of plays, or even tougher plays, since he began his career; he always excelled in this area and became the measuring bar everyone else is compared. The 1970 WS just spotlighted what the Baltimore fans had already known for around 15 years and it was no surprise; Brooks just had more opportunity this series due to the pull hitters on the Reds. Also, just a side note, Brooks was 33 years old in the ’70 Series so he was not an up and coming prospect, but a well-established player. Dick Hall commented about Brooks’ play in the series and stated, “We kind of laughed at the fuss everyone made – we’d seen him [Brooks] make those kinds of plays for years.” A few quotes from Sparky: Quotes: "I hope the car they (Sport Magazine who awarded it to the World Series MVP) give him (Brooks Robinson) has an extra-large glove box." - Sparky Anderson Quote: "I'm beginning to see Brooks (Robinson) in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first." - Sparky Anderson Quote: "He can throw his glove out there and it will start ten double plays by itself." - Sparky Anderson The Daily News paper from October 16, 1970 recapping the final game of the Series with the newspaper heading, “Series for the Birds”; “Orioles Bury Reds, 9-3, for Title”.
