As an Oriole fan, I’ll say you should be very proud of your dad. Pitched his heart out and got to play a game that a very small minority are skilled enough to play.
He pitched one of the best games I’ve ever seen. My God, he deserves a special place in Heaven for that performance. I’m still sick about this game 40 years later. If only Jerry Dybzinski could have held up…
“It just cut a hole in the wind”. I’ll never forget those words by the immortal Chuck Thompson. Thank you so much for uploading these games. I LOVE your channel!
In 1981, when I was 22 years old, my friend and I drove from the East Coast to Chicago and saw a game in old Comiskey Park. The White Sox manager was Tony LaRussa. Then, 41 years later in 2022, when I was 63 years old, my wife and I drove to Chicago from the East Coast and saw a game in the new Comiskey Park (or whatever they call it), and the White Sox manager was a guy named...Tony LaRussa.
Thank you for the upload. I loved watching the late Chuck Thompson and Brooks Robinson call the Orioles games. I enjoy all of your uploads it brings back great memories of watching the Orioles with my late grandfather. Rest in peace Brooks Robinson.
Thanks for posting! I'd never heard these announcers before but they're a strong team. Brooks is good on color commentary, relaxed and able to relate his expertise.
Nice to hear 👂 these 2 voices doing this game. Grew up with Chuck Thompson and Bill O’Donnell doing the PBP. Brooks Robinson IMO was the greatest third baseman of all time. I think this was the last year they allowed local broadcasts.
Just amazed in seeing Luzinski's broken bat going into the stands. Amazing that certified trial specialist LaRussa learned from this by the time he was A's manager "Let the big dogs do big and whatever it takes"
I was at this game. Freshman year at Brother Rice. My father had season tickets through his job. Went to many games that great year. My seat was second row , upper deck 1st base side , looking right down the line. 83 was great....All-Star game , playoffs. Too bad they only had a 1-yr run.
First time watching this game in 40 years. I was 16 and a junior at Perryville High School 🏫. Little did I know that it would be their last World 🌎 Series win or appearance since them. Several trips to the playoffs but not quite. Last ALCS trip was against Kansas City and we got swept 🧹. Every game was close.
I was at this game and after this inning went to the potty after this at bat. There was plenty of choice words for Jerry Dybinski. I didn't go to many Sox games and my Uncle had tickets. Fans were FURIOUS at Dybinski. His base running blunder took the chance at the the Sox tying it up. What a DIP shit, still to this day. Balk by Baltimore pitcher would have scored a run 😤
this would prove to be the beginning of the end for both teams...Chicago really came unraveled after this and for the life of me Ill never understand why LaRussa left Burns in. Also a bit of two different tales being told as to Ripken getting hit in game 3 would prove also to be the beginning of the end for LaRussa in Chicago. Its almost like he lost control of the team after this game
Disagree with the venerable Chuck Thompson: the difference here was, not that Baltimore was the better team, but experience, plain and simple. The stats show which team was "better": the Chicago White Sox. They were the best in the league in the regular season. But the postseason is a whole different animal, especially in that unforgiving era of the 5-game series. It was a new experience for the White Sox, whereas the Orioles were a team hungry to avenge World Series catastrophe 4 years prior. THAT is a world of difference when two otherwise evenly-matched teams collide. Kudos to Tito Landrum. But the whole picture was far greater than his great 10-inning at-bat.
My Sox only scored 3 runs that entire series to the O’s 19. Same number of hits for both teams (28), yet the O’s were very efficient in getting them across the plate.
This game broke my heart. I was also very disgusted with the Orioles who purposely injured Luzinski & Kittle. Perhaps the dirtiest team in baseball at the time.
Tito was acquired in late 1983 from St. Louis, ironically he was re-acquired by those same Cardinals in the 1983 off-season. That might explain your inability to find the card 😉🙃
Winning strategy, injure teams folk hero (Kittle GM3) setup good pitching expectations starters/relievers and players enjoy swinging to sacrifice/move runners and drive the ball all other occasions. Twins benefitted a couple of years later by instantly hating ogre Ray Miller so much they were motivated come '87. Did not know the answer to the trivia ? but I have one "Who was the last Orioles player to be solely responsible for a teams games cancellation as to deal with a domestic matter" A:Cal "No Need For That" Ripken, JR.
@@lemmiwinks09 That's not necessarily true. Depending on where a viewer was located, they could have watched the NBC broadcast from either D.C. or Lancaster. And WMAR didn't have to produce their own ALCS coverage. They could have went with the network broadcast entirely and just did local pre- and post-game wrap-arounds. All that really mattered to NBC was getting their in-game ad inventory cleared.

That's interesting . Thanks for that.
Local NL/ALCS broadcasts are such treasures. Thank you for making it possible for fans to hear a new perspective on these games.
Duuuuude Britt Burns is my dad and I've been looking for the video broadcasts for this ALCS series for years, especially this game. Thank you so much.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS...AND for using the Orioles broadcast. What a pleasure it is to hear Chuck and Brooks again.

great memories of my childhood.

RIP Brooks Robinson - one of the greatest ever.

This channel is great! Thank you so much for putting all of this out there.

Tying it up? The score was 0-0 when that happened. Chicago would have won the game.
Kittle being hurt by that pitch may have been the difference in this series.
I was there!
Fantastic video quality as well!!

This was such a nice park. They should have tried to replicate Comiskey instead of building that awful stadium the White Sox have now.
This game broke my heart.

I’m looking through my baseball cards and I don’t have a Tito landrum card with the orioles
Tito was acquired in late 1983 from St. Louis, ironically he was re-acquired by those same Cardinals in the 1983 off-season. That might explain your inability to find the card 😉🙃
He helped them win the World Series and they trade him back! Sounds like they just borrowed him. Lol.

Cant give enough credit to the GEM of a game Mr.Britt Burns pitched here!!!
WMAR-TV is mixing it up with NBC Sports graphics, even though the network broadcast was blacked out in Baltimore.
I noticed that too. I believe the Chicago local broadcast used the NBC graphics.
WMAR was an NBC affiliate in 1983, so basically the only feed you could see in Baltimore was the local telecast with Chuck and Brooks.

Ain't the beer cold!
if only Vance Law does not break for home......
Who knew that 40 years later, Baltimore would be still fighting for a chance to return to the WS. Chuck Thompson is rolling over in his grave twice.
The better team won this series.
This is the last time they aired the League Championship Series local broadcast.
What an awesome ball park. They took away half the game by destroying these parks and building the sterile malls they call stadiums today.
before steroids took over mlb
That and the "Me" culture of showboating, bat flips, and over-the-top celebrations in pajama pants.......
how money home runs for Barry bonds with steroids
cocaine use in the 80s
Why is the umpire clapping at 25:28? If that happened today Jomboy would do a whole breakdown.
2:51 - Winning the ALCS is not "winning it all" Chuck Thompson, although up to that year the Orioles seemed to treat it as such.
Orioles 3 white Sox 0
beautiful stadium
