Wow.

[89th]

Maybe this is the O’s year now, sometimes it takes a special tribute to push teams even further.

I don't like the Orioles much these days, but I actually did like Brooksie's Orioles.

Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mark Belanger, Bobby Grich, Boog Powell, Don Baylor, Paul Blair, Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver

I saw those guys a lot while I was working at Fenway. Paul Blair threw me a baseball one night during BP, I was selling popcorn. I dropped it trying to catch the ball, then picked it all up off the ground and sold it. The popcorn I sold, some other guy grabbed the ball and took off.

I saw Earl Weaver steal 3rd base one time while getting thrown out of a game, he picked it right out of the ground and threw it into the stands. Some kid caught it and was out of the building before they could catch him.

Good times

RIP Mr. Robinson
