The old Memorial Stadium. Man is this nostalgia. That Baltimore team only won one world series during their four year run. Damn shame. That team was one of the best I've ever seen
Special treat, thanks for sharing, wasn't very often Andy Etchebarren hit a dinger. Great to see Brooks in the field and Frank at the plate do what they did best!
Those last 3 innings went by just like that. ;) It's nice to see the winning team shaking the hero's hand at the end of the game instead of jumping up and down like little girls.
Thanks for showing this. I was 13 when this game was played. These player's names are burned into my brain like the smell when you open a pk of cards. Can't believe how great the sound quality is thru headphones. Like setting behind home plate.
I was same age.I lived in Bronx NY but had a lot of family in Maryland.I would come down to visit every Memorial Day weekend to visit so occasionally the family would go to some Orioles games.Baltimore memorial stadium wasn't the best looking stadium in the world but I loved the atmosphere.Boy did they have same great teams in those years 1966-1983 but as a kid I remember them being competitive before then. You could tell the organization was solid.Baseball memories &family memories.Priceless
@@keifstoned8496 The 4 20 game winners(Cuellar, McNally, Palmer and Dobson)were in 1971, the year they lost the World Series to the Pirates in 7 games!
@@keifstoned8496 It just goes to show you how many great teams there were, with HOF players back in that era. Look at the only team those 3 Oriole teams defeated-the 1970 Reds. They were loaded with all-time greats! Rose, Bench, Perez, later Morgan and many other good players!
Brooks Robinson 3 for 4, including a triple and Frank Robinson 2 for 5 including a HR and the game winning single in the bottom of the ninth. I grew up watching those great Oriole teams!
I did also, but they still kind of underachieved considering they lost to 2 inferior teams in the Mets and Pirates in the World Series. Really kind of a shame because these '69-'71 Orioles were truly a juggernaut. I actually think they were better than the '72-'74 A's that did win 3 World Series in a row. But that is why you play the games-you never know what will happen in professional sports. Who would have thought the Jets would beat the Colts 6 months prior in the Super Bowl?
Glad to see these old games on videotape, hopefully more will be posted. This was a month before I was born. My mom was actually at memorial stadium two weeks earlier, 7 months pregnant with me.
Being from Delaware, i was hoping to see Dave May. When i met him, he was such a nice guy. Signed my card for me and would talk baseball with me. So sad when he died
As a diehard Twins fan it’s great to see these games here, I appreciate the upload....great quality....the “Killer’s” MVP year. and lost to these Orioles!
Yep, Harmon Killebrew, who was once a Washington Senator(my childhood team)with 49 homers in '69, 1 ahead of my childhood hero, Frank Howard. Reggie Jackson had 47.
As this and a few other videos on UA-cam successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsman's Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.
So cool to see a regular season old time game. The TV angles suck though; so hard to see the ball placement. When did we start using the pitcher-in-foreground angle?
I’ve been looking for Mets and Yankees broadcasts from 1968. Went to my first Mets game on June 23rd and my first Yankees games July 20 and 22, 1968. Also, any chance the Mets 1970 home opener against the Pirates was broadcast on tv? These are games I’d love to see again.
Interesting that you brought that up. The Orioles did not draw well back then, routinely drawing crowds in the low to mid teens. Baseball as a whole didn't draw big crowds back then. Most teams drew 20,000 or less most nights. Even the Red Sox and Cubs had a lot of empty seats at times.
It was a Colt town back in those days and its unfortunate because the 69-71 Orioles were the best team in baseball. They should have won all 3 World Series but they just stopped hitting in the two they lost.
@@Dana-wq5tp The Series against the Pirates in 1971 was especially painful. They had so much trouble with Steve Blass. The Pirates didn't have great pitching. The Orioles should have been able to deal with them. However, when you lose to a team with The Great Clemente AND Willie Stargell on it, that's no disgrace.
@@henryfoxwell762 And Stargell didn't do much of anything in the Series. But Clemente was a one-man wrecking crew, coupled with the fact that the Orioles offense went cold. The Pirates were a good ball club but not in Baltimore's class.
@@Dana-wq5tp No, the Pirates were not in the Orioles class. The Orioles should have put them away in 5, especially after jumping out to a 2 games to none lead. Very similar to 1979, when they took a 3-1 lead against the Pirates and lost.

4 20-game winners in '71! How many times has that happened in MLB history? Off the top of my head, '48 Indians....
They won TWO World Series in that span: 1966 and 1970!
No steroids/PED's no hot dogging no work stoppages/strikes. THIS was baseball, and God do I miss it.
at about 7,500.00 per season

Thank you for posting these games, especially from this era. Brings me back to my younger days!
You are welcome - glad you enjoy
Imagine that: a starting pitcher goes the whole way, even in a neck and neck game, allowing four runs.

Orioles were a powerful club in 1969
Yes, but not powerful enough to beat the Mets that year
Yep. It truly was a miracle that the 7 year old Mets beat them in the World Series. Everything had to go right for the Mets, and it did.
69 and 70 both. They had four 20 game winners in '70, I think.

Jim Hardin was an underrated pitcher, I remember him when he pitched for the Braves in 1972.
'How sweet it is.'
I love these thank you! I listen to the game while doing work!
back when the Orioles were great. For the past 25 years they have been one of the worst teams in MLB. Sad. Thanks for posting
And now they're arguably the best team in the AL
I really liked the 66 Orioles with Aparicio at shortstop. Imagine him and Robby on the right side! where ya gonna hit the ball?
