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...
Orioles win 9-3 to be the World Series champs for 1970! 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.

I've posted these before, but seems to be a perfect time to repost in case someone missed them.
