“This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Baltimore Orioles winning the 1983 World Series, the last time the Orioles won it all.
For me, 1983 was the most special season imaginable. It was the first season I had my own Saturday and Sunday postgame radio show on WFBR, which held the rights to Orioles games. To be in that spot and tap into the amazing current of electricity that existed in our community back then was almost magical.
In fact, during the early seasons of my show, I was downright cocky at times. A short anecdote might help explain just how “baseball-entitled” some of us felt back in the real era of Orioles magic.
One day during the 1984 season, I distinctly remember doing a score update and I got to the Cleveland Indians score. It must have been late May or early June, and the Indians were losing a game and already well out of first place.”
