The last time the O's were in the Series of course was 1983. I was at both games in Baltimore wearing my game-worn Tim Stoddard road jersey. Those were the days before everyone and his brother wore a jersey to the stadium and mine drew a lot of interest. I didn't take advantage of the opportunity I had to go to Philly for the games there. I had a new wife, a new job and there was no guarantee that the Series would end there so I headed home.
Here to give the Orioles of 2014 some backing are some of my favorite 1983 Orioles on their Topps cards of that season. I don't care a whole lot for the '83 set. It's not so much the design that bugs me, in fact I kind of like the design, but rather the photos which I feel are grainy and uninspired. But, no matter. Let's do this!! Go O's!!!
Just because for my bracket challenge sake.. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut lets what O's can do this year. They are doing better each passing year so it might be that this time they get it right =)
I remember that team well. The 83 set looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe last three cards aren't too bad but I agree about the rest, but then again it was 1983. Of the teams left I'm rooting for your Orioles.
