@@김길동-j9z So many Hall of Fame players that I watched as a kid! It's scary to realize just how fast life goes and just how precious and short it can be. Be SAFE EVERYONE! God Bless you all!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Take care of yourselves!
I went to a Dodgers game in 1990 when Valenzuela tossed a no hitter. Rick Dempsey was Catcher that year and he gladly signed an autograph before the game. Even chatted with us for a while. Nice guy!
Actually it wasn't all Angelos' fault. The O's from 86-93 for the most part sucked. Anyone remember the team who started 0-21? Or the pitching staff that surrendered 10 HR's in a single game? Or the team that finished 14-42 in the last 2 months of the season? Or Glenn Davis? All that preceded Angelos
This was a marvelous time to be an Orioles fan. I remember Orioles Magic and that's what it was. I also remember this was the last year that the Colts were here in Baltimore. The magic of the O's died somewhat in 1988 with the trading of Eddie Murray it just hasn't been the same spirit. Memorial Stadium had so many great memories that Camden Yards have yet to match. There needs to be a spirit of 33rd Street that is passed to Camden Yards and The Charm'tastic Mile.
What memories, seeing Cal leap at SS to grab 3rd out and Champioship, little did I know that 34 yrs would pass with not another sniff of a World Series, oh to be a kid again
Man. Nearly forty years! O's were knocking on the door a year earlier. History different had O's met Cards. Brewers didn't have pitching like O's. Yeah. Year of O's. Was nice to see Palmer get a ring. O's had great farm system & it's funny they didn't dominate in '80s.
I remember this game in 1983 going head to head with the NFL Sunday. At that time, MLB was more popular than the NFL thus they had luxury of broadcasting games in the daytime. I hope someday MLB will play a World Series in the daytime as a concession to the fans. Thank you,
Im an O's fan but id like to say that the Philly fans were respectful after a tough loss, everytime the O's play the Phills now i think of this series.
I’m an O’s fan but I’ll always have respect for the Phillies. Just cause they’re close to home and some of my family being from there. Whenever the Orioles suck, don’t get me wrong I still watch us and keep up. However if we are truly terrible and the Phillies are doing somewhat good or good than I’ll always root for the Phillies to take it all. That’s IF we’re bad. I wasn’t alive in 83 but I would root for my O’s over the Phil’s in a WS. It would be dividing to say the least, but I’d pull through for my O’s at the end of the day. Much love for Philly. Maryland forever though.
As a Phillies fan, I was really down when they lost this game. However, as both of my parents are/were from Baltimore, I grew up with the O's as my distant second team, so I wasn't as broken up about the Phils losing as I was when they lost in '93 and '09. It also helped that Mom and Dad were thrilled that the O's won, so things weren't that down in my family.
I was 14, grew up an Orioles fan, little did I know this is the only World Series Championship I would ever see. (Not born in 66’ and only a year old in 70’). Will I ever see one again???
Loved it when Dempsey tore off his mask to celebrate with Hershiser and the Dodgers in 1988. Dempsey was underrated. He got hits in the big moments and wasn't just a defensive catcher in 1988.
Dempsey really didn't hit well but he definitely deserved a Gold Glove or two during his tenure. He was also always fun to watch, his demeanor was great for the game.
All the way through my childhood, from the first time following baseball around 1968-69, the Orioles were "THE team". They didn't win every year, but they were the one you had to beat if you wanted to win. This is where that all ended. Too bad. They weren't my favorite team. That was the White Sox, who the O's beat in the ALCS this year, but I always felt good rooting for the Orioles when my favorite team was out of the running, which they usually were by June. I only have one baseball jersey--a Brooks Robinson.
I recorded the last half inning of this game on the radio on a cassette tape - and I still have the tape, even though I don't have any cassette players. Jon Miller did the O's games back then. "Ripken catches it, and the Orioles are the champions of the world!"
I also recorded the last half inning on cassette off the ABC TV coverage. I like Jon Miller's call better though. Pretty sure I still have the tape. I also have a tape player.
Murray's second home run hits HIS OWN NAME on the scoreboard (where it lists him among the AL's RBI leaders for 1983). Ripken had hair under his cap then, too.,
This was one of the old Sunday afternoon starts past 4:00 PM ET. This way they only went up against the back half of the NFL doubleheader. It was the next to last year of these start times. 1984 was the last start time on Sunday of 4:00 PM ET. In 1985 after the LCS went to a best of 7 format the Series started on Saturday and ALL games were played in prime time.
+John Paulson Yep, I was only 8 in 84 but that's the first WS I remember watching as a kid & I thought the Game 5 started in the afternoon. Shame they will never go back to the day WS games.
Willie Hernandez, loses the 83 World Series then the next year..he's AL MVP, wins the AL Cy Young and one of the biggest reasons Detroit was the best team in baseball capping off with a World Series win in 1984.
1983 was the dream season for the Baltimore orioles. I sold A Roof to Eddie Murray back in the early 1990s. I also fixed a leaking skylight for Mike Flanagan. I also did work for Jim Palmer‘s wife.
The Cincinnati Reds moved to the Philips Philadelphia, but did not win the 1983 series, however the Oakland A's sent 2 players (Hunter, Jackson) and won the 1977-78 series in a row!
Eddie Murray was easily one of the greatest hitters I ever seen in my life....and I say that growing up a Indians fan living near Cleveland and rooting against him almost his entire career.....lol.....Murray has never ever gotten the respect he deserved.....this was when he was in his prime.....he was just as dangerous from both sides of the plate....if the guy had came up and played in a city like New York they would have made him as legendary as they did Mickey Mantle....but because Murray was a private kinda guy didnt like giving interviews and kissing the press behind all the time the way some players who loved the attention like Reggie Jackson did.....Murray was always ignored and given a bad image by the press......who love to try and bury anyone who doesnt kiss their behind.......Murray if he had played the majority of his young career for a team like the Yankees he would have been given the kind of treatment by the press that New York reports did Roger Maris.....because like Maris who prefered a private quite kind of off the field life style.......Murray wouldnt have bent over backwards the way the New York Press would have wanted him to......but Murray you look at him when he crouches down before the pitch in the batters box....tell me that guy wasn't blessed to be a pure monster at the plate.....that stance....that swing....the stance looks like a Lion when it crouches down getting ready to pounce on its prey.......the swing is like a quick strike as if it is a rattle snake attacking its prey......and the ball makes a sound like a crack of thunder and goes zipping through the air as if its a rocket. Even though the Orioles were by 1988-89 in rebuild mode.......the fact if the day they traded Eddie Murray to the Dodgers...was the worst mistake they could have made......The duo of Cal Ripken and Eddie Murray was still in its prime with a lot of baseball left in them both.....but the Orioles felt they should trade Murray for prospects and really cheap help that off season after 1988......Murray remained a solid dependable dangerous hitter for most of the next 8 years after that trade,........he should have like Cal Ripken been a career Oriole........but this 1983 Team that won the world series for the Orioles was the end of the great Orioles teams of the 60's 70's and early 80's really....not because players like Jim Palmer were on the way out....not cause Earl Weaver retired....then unretired and retired again.........it was the end of the Orioles Way as they called it because the Orioles let go of so many of their great minor league managers and coaches and scouts......allowing them to get away to other teams who were offering them more money, promotions and so forth....the Orioles had for 2 decades always had a great farm system.....but by 1983.....the system was getting bare.....the last two key young players I remember they produced in that era was Ripken and Storm Davis who they felt would take Jim Palmers place...Davis had a decent career...became a big winner in the late 80's on the Oakland A's teams of the late A's.,....but Davis was never as good as they once felt he could be.....but as the older vets aged after this 1983 season the Orioles had nothing in the minors coming up to help them really....outside a few outfields like John Shelby and Mike Young who both played a little while but had holes in their games......they had no more impact bats or arms to bring in.....which led them to go out chasing older free agents to fill holes like Fred Lynn and Lee Lacy....and others.....they traded for Alan Wiggins.....but they didnt develope young players....which led to trading one of the best hitters in baseball....Ediie Murray who had been a career Oriole...still in his prime and they dealt him for a group of players none of whom ever really did anything at all to help the Orioles and it caused them to basically waste the rest of Ripken's prime as they really after trading Murray were a horrible team outside of a very lucky 1989 worst to first season in which several young players played great that year while the A.L. East was weaker than it had been in decades.......but after 89, the Orioles fell back off to the rebuilding they really were doing and Ripken's career was wasted basically from then on until near the end of his career before they were able to truly call themselves contenders. Anyway there is your history....lol......but Even as a Indians fan....I hated when he killed our pitching when I was growing up but there was no hitter I loved watching more than Eddie Murray.....you knew every time he came up....he had the ability to do destroy any pitch coming at him no matter who the pitcher was....he was just such a monster of a hitter
He's in Cooperstown and his number retired with the Orioles. Never heard anyone say a bad word about that class act of man and player. Not sure how he can get more respect than that.
Never got to see the full game till now boy did the O's have talent. Great game loved seeing the offense, pitching, defense. Only thing Murray didn't quite get a three run homer but I'd take the 2 run shot back then no complaints.
The 1983 Phillies were an extension of the Big Red Machine with Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, key pieces of the 1970s Cincinnati Reds Dynasty.
What ties to the Big Red Machine the Phillies had here, wow! Bo Dias would later play for Cincinnati with Rose as his manager. Joe Morgan, Tony Perez...
The thing I remember other then Eddie's 2 Home Runs, was that a fuel tanker exploded on the I-95 ramp outside the Veterans Stadium, delaying the game 35 minutes.
I'm just watching all the world series now on you tube. And I never knew until now that the Phillies were in another world series I knew about 80 93 which they should have won but I'm not bringing that up again still hurts and of course I remember finally 2008 finally damn it finally
Life-long Oriole fan here. One of the happiest days of my life. The whole city of Baltimore was just a devastated as Earl was when we lost to Pittsburgh. 80% of that team was in Philly this day and the Orioles, after winning 100 games and coming in 2nd place in 1980, finishing the strike shortened, split season with the best overall record, but not in first when it counted in '81, walking down the Brewers who had a 7 1/2 game lead on us with 3 weeks to go, and a 3 game lead with 4 to go, at our place. After a double header sweep on Friday and a crisp n clean pitching and timely hitting the Brewers were finally caught, but it was Miller Time after the Brew Crew bats woke up in a nick of time and Don Sutton shut us down, sending Earl Weaver into the ABC booth. So by the time we go through not 1, but 2 7 game losing streaks, fighting off pesky Toronto (who really got good in '83) and Detroit (35-5 out the gate in 1984 on their way to their Championship) it was finally our chance to take it all. It would be ironic that Earl would be there because it was on ABC who was the network of the '79 series and 82 when Cosell gave Weaver and Baltimore the best sendoff and National promotion anyone could've asked for. If you haven't seen it, look it up. So I believed Earl when he said, he's glad where he is and couldn't do it anymore. Earl worked hard and smoked a ton of cigarettes. He was burned out. He did comeback a couple of years after, but the team itself was in steep decline on our way to 1988.
I may be a little older, but it's the 1971 series that still rankles me, morre than any other World Series in my baseball watching life. Losing to the Mets was embarrassing, considering that was really a thoroughly mediocre team, but it's one of those flukes that happen every once in a while and you can write it off to bad luck. The 1971 World Series was real, two good teams, but the Orioles were better and should have won. Clemente was great but it came down to a seventh game and then you run into a hot pitcher that one day. If it wasn't for Steve Blass, no matter what Clemente did the Orioles still would have won.
@@RRaquello The Orioles lost the '71 Series in Pittsburgh. Getting swept after taking the first 2 at home. The pitching, while it was so so, was good enough. The real culprit was the bats. When the Orioles lose and lose on the biggest stage it brings to light the criticism that the Weaver strategy which includes 3 run homers. During the regular season, the Birds could get away with lack of speed, and playing small aggressive ball because the pitching was that good, and the defense could hold their own because the Orioles stress defense and positioning. The scouts were some of the best in the game and in most instances the pitching along with excellent glove work will shut down most teams. In 1971 only the Giants Reds, and Pirates played on the fake stuff in the NL, and The Pirates were so much better at home because they took advantage of their own defensive positioning against teams. Cutting off the balls that normally would be clean base hits elsewhere. In Pittsburgh the infield would play deeper, almost shallow outfield because the ball would get to them way faster than balls on grass. The Orioles needed to play NL style in Pittsburgh but being stubborn. Weaver still believed balls would find gaps, or go all the way out, and it just never happened and it cost them the series. They showed their class by bouncing back to win a thrilling game 6 in extras, but Steve Blass, who Weaver (trying to get a edge) upset Blass by sending the ump out to make him pitch on the rubber. It backfired and Blass pitched one of those (no matter what you do, you ain't winning today) games and our shot at a legit dynasty went up in smoke. It was costly because the Oakland A's were just as good as the Birds, but they win and win by any means necessary. A trait the Orioles didn't have, and after defeating the young A's for the pennant in '71, they never could take the A's out in a championship scenario. It took the A's falling, the Red Sox, Yankees. and Royals all bypassing the Birds and even though we won our usual 90 plus games, we all knew we weren't beating any of those teams until we got a little more versatile. That happened in "79. That season is well documented. But...not by me and one day soon, I'm gonna break that season all the way down because a lot happened and dominoes started falling. And we squeezed out 1 last Championship before the Golden Age retired.
@@spryfolII Weaver was playing an early version of the computerized percentage baseball that everyone plays nowadays. The trouble is that while the percentages play out over 162 games, they don't always in a short series, which is why genius managers like Buck Showalter, Whitey Herzog and Bobby Cox had so much success in a long schedule, but so little in the post season. Meanwhile you had Tom Kelly or Cito Gaston who had much less success in the regular season but were able to pull off WS wins in their only opportunities by kind of winging it and adapting to circumstances and taking a chance or playing a hunch once in a while. Nowadays, they're so enslaved to their past performance sheets and "analytics" that they're afraid to deviate from the script because they don't want to face the question, "You did it this way all season, why did you change it in the World Series?", if their hunch move or improvisation failed.I don't think Weaver was enslaved to quite the extent that managers are today, but the team was built along certain lines where they couldn't easily change from that 3 run HR strategy. They had some speed with Buford and Blair, but they didn't use it much. In 1966 they had Russ Snyder, who was considered fast, along with Blair (I'm too young to remember that series, and of course that was pre-Weaver), and I think Curt Blefary was pretty quick too. I don't remember how fast Belanger was, though being tall and skinny he looked like he'd be fast, but you can't always tell by that. I don't know if they had enough speed to play any other game than the one they played. But when they got to game seven they were going to lose anyway with Blass pitching the game of his life. BTW, you may remember that there was one artificial turf field in the American League: Comiskey Park. For a few years they had it but, oddly enough, only in the infield. They had a grass outfield. When Bill Veeck bought the Sox, around 1976, he had the artificial stuff torn out and replaced by real grass. But the AL didn't have a full artificial turf field, I think, until the new KC ballpark opened around 1973 and Whitey Herzog built his team to take advantage of it, much like the Pirates, Cards and Astros did. The Reds & Phillies not quite as much because even as new stadiums with fake turf, their parks were hitter friendly and good HR parks.
I legitimately miss not seeing 100000s of stats flash on the screen and the shift, OPS, this stat and that and how good a pitcher is when its 80 degrees on a Sunday versus 74 on a Monday.
One thing I don't miss about these older games are the generic ugly multi purpose saucer shaped ballparks w/the cheap, and dangerous turf like Veterans stadium. Todays stadiums are so much better.
See, that's precisely what I liked about the older games - the unique stadium layouts which makes every game a challenge for teams. While the newer stadiums are nice to sit in, they seem to be missing a lot of character with their cookie-cutter dimensions.
@@centuryrox I must disagree. In my opinion, the older stadiums of the 70s and 80s were the "cookie-cutters"; Veterans, Shea, Riverfront, Three Rivers, and Busch. The modern parks I've visited recently are great. They may be a bit sterile, but I enjoy the games much more in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis in their new parks.
@@civlyzed "Sterile" is the word I should've used instead of cookie-cutter. Sure, the newer parks have all the amenities and generally better sight lines. I grew up in Baltimore, following the Orioles of course. Memorial Stadium certainly had it's share of faults, and Camden Yards is one of the best stadiums around, but the atmosphere in Camden Yards doesn't hold a candle to Memorial Stadium. Every one who went to a game at the old stadium felt like they were part owner of the place. Camden Yards feels way too "corporate", like your existence there doesn't mean much more than a couple extra bucks in their coffers.
@@centuryrox Gotcha. I certainly do miss the good old days when the fans were just regular folks. I can't afford to go to more than a couple of games a year now and regular folks have been all but priced out. Corporate BS!
@@civlyzed I think we can pin a lot of the blame on the players as well (Machado - $30 million/yr for 10 years!!) I can remember being pissed at Eddie Murray for getting $2.1 million a year! The average fan has definitely been priced out. A baseball game used to be an easy night out - couple bucks for a ticket, a beer or two, and a hot dog. Now it's a major expense, one that I have not partaken in almost 4 years. The last time I went to an O's game it was $10 night for an upper deck seat, and I bought ONE fountain soda for $5.75. Getting back to the stadium though - Camden Yards is all the way downtown. I live in the northern suburbs, and I just don't feel like going all the way downtown, into traffic gridlock, to see a game, especially one that's WAY overpriced. Memorial Stadium was in a residential area in the geographic center of the city, with numerous roads for access, making traveling to the game no hassle at all.
What a park. A concrete monstrosity. I couldn't count how many games I attended at Veteran's Stadium. My first was in 1976 vs. the Expos, my last was 9-27-2003, the second to last ever game there. On that day Jim Thome hit two home runs and John Smoltz blew a save. I still have the t-shirt I bought that day - it's never been worn.
I went up with my father from Baltimore in 1982 season. We watched I believe the Phil's vs. Mets and I remember George Foster hit 2 singers (day night dblheader) I remember there was a sixty some year old woman with 2 of her elder sons behind us and they were smoking weed, my pops got up and we left, only at the Vet
It's been 30 years since I saw that game and the Orioles were quite a good ball club and this would be the last world series they would win. So it's been a long time for them.
Did Earl Weaver also get a World Series Ring with the rest of the Orioles? Keep in mind, this was Weaver’s Team that Joe Altobelli won The World Series with.
Born in the 2000s, and this is all I want. Just for them to win it all. Just once. I get the people who’ve been waiting for a Orioles championship for so long after this, but at least you have this and the two others (66, 70), to live on if you were around for all 3, 2 or just even 1. What do we have? Yeah Camden Yards is amazing, don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful, but it would be better if a WS game was played in it.
Several of the Phillies by age at the time of this 1983 World Series: Rose 42, Perez 41, Morgan 40, Schmidt 34, Maddox 34, Matthews 33, Carlton 38, McGraw 39, Reed 40
Baltimore won because Schmidt's bat was ice cold and Carlton wasn't the Carlton that won the CY Young award. Mogan, Rose, Perez , meh. Rose actually played well and Perez only played in this game. McGraw was hurt the entire series as was Christianson.
Actually Game 6 of the 1987 World Series was a day game. it was played inside the Metrodome between Minnesota and St Louis. Game 6 of the 1988 World Series also would have been played Saturday afternoon had it been needed. But of course the Dodgers made sure it wasn't needed as hey beat the A's in 5 games.
NoGoodBoyo1000 the world was different. Somehow enough people were able get off work for a World Series game. Nowadays it would dead for a playoff game and not many people would watch on tv
I did root for the Phillies in the 1980 World Series only because I was angry at George Brett and the Royals after what they did against the Yankees in the 1980 ALCS. But not in this 1983 World Series. Yankees Fan and I was seriously pulling for the Orioles in this World Series. For some stupid reason in 1979 I don't know why I was rooting for the Pirates and then realized how stupid I was when my Dad who has also been a Yankees Fan since the 1940's told me about what happened to the Yankees against the Pirates in the 1960 World Series then after hearing that I despised the Pirates since.
Every single player, for the most part, are so thin and lanky. Compared to the over inflated sides of beef that play today, it was a different time for baseball. No steroids.
Definitely less noticeable... I'm not sure there were "no" steroids in the 1980s... if you've read any 1960s or 70s NFL players biography (most of them anyway) you'll read about the large jars of "vitamins" that were kept in the locker rooms... the rule was, every time you walk by, you take one. I'm sure neither the players nor the trainers or coaches ever acknowledged what they were... but I'm also sure everybody knew what they were. As Bill Lee used to say of his time with the Red Sox: "I could pitch in the American league but they'd never have let me run the Kentucky Derby" Steroids in the 90s and early 2000s became much, much more effective. However, I'll always believe that steroids have been a part of professional sports since at least the late 1960s.
Not only a scarcity of steroids, there were other things back then. Remember, the 80s had their drug issues too. Alot of amphetamines, powder cocaine, crack cocaine. Those drugs made alot of people skinny. And then consider the diets back then. People didn't eat as big of portions as they do now, and when they ate, it wasn't as much fat as it is today. And something else. I suspect body building wasn't as big among baseball players as it is today. I suspect that back in the 70s and 80s, baseball players lifted weights, but not to the same extent as football players. It was more than likely a part of body conditioning and keeping yourself in shape. You lifted for strength, not so much for bulk.
This 1983 Phillies team was a sad shell of its former self. Boone, Trillo, Bowa, and Bull all gone, replaced by Reds relics of an even older Championship team. Christenson suffering a career ending arm injury. Rose, Reed, McGraw, Maddox, and even Owens were all gone by the end of 1984. Carlton had one more effective season before essentially being washed. Schmidt was left to languish the rest of the decade with Hayes and Samuel, two highly touted prospects who were good but never fully lived up to expectations, and ended up being used as trade pieces to help put the '93 team together. From 1984-2002, the Phillies had just three winning teams in that span.
One of the best comedy films of the decade, "National Lampoon's Vacation" came out that summer and somehow isn't even on the list, while Staying Alive and Mr. Mom cracked the top 10.
That little off-key-sounding "mistake" when Andrea McCartle sings the Star Spangled Banner seems like it might be her sly little sly "inside-joke" on the audience. I love her, and remember her well from my years growing up in the Philadelphia area. With best, kind, regards; =====>Mark Creek-water Dorazio, long-time Phillies fan
It's kind of striking how unimpressive the talent is on the 1983 Orioles. You've got Cal Ripken and Eddie Murray, which is a good start. But then you've got John Shelby and Dan Ford making up two thirds of the outfield, and Todd Cruz and Rich Dauer in the infield. Pitching, you've got Jim Palmer near the end of his career, two (really) soft tossers in Flanagan and McGregor, and Dennis Martinez, then in the grip of cocaine addiction, posting a negative WAR season. I'd say this was the least talented Orioles team of this era. Yet they won the World Series. Go figure.
Cal made the final leap, but don't forget Tito Landrum's LONG running catch in right field to open Scotty's ninth. We were there, sons Jon, Jordan, and a young lady, in the dead center field seats to see the three homers and the Homeric (!) South Philly traffic jam after the game.
13:50 - "Well not necessarily doctoring the ball but he had a sticky substance to make that slidder and that braking ball so good." Isn't that exactly what doctoring the ball means??? WTF Weaver.
Listen to television coverage of Game 3 of the 2008 World Series, and you will hear clearly the echo of the Citizens Bank Park PA system when there is no music as Dan Baker does the pregame proceedings and then during the National Anthem.

Also I think this one hurts less cause I knew nothing about it. I was a baby when this was happening. Only reason I know about Early Phillies cause I heard about Pete rose being apart of that team
I am a long time Orioles fan...50 years. WTF were these guys doing in the WS? Look at the Phillies. I mean maybe the idea is that pitching wins it, but g-damn...Lets watch the os do it in 2021.
@@josecarranza7555 Yes. Let me explain because perhaps you are stupid. I've been an Os fan for 50 years and a die-hard fan. The Phillies in this game were like a team of allstars hall-of-famers (Morgan, Rose [he should be in], Schmidt, Matthews, Perez, Maddox, ) and the Orioles were Cal Ripken, Eddie Murray, and Who? You probably don't know the rest of the team. Take a look at the box score. There are nonames in the Os lineup (Shelby, Landrum, Dauer, Cruz, Roenike, Lowenstien, Demsey [though I like him], Bumbry past his prime). Top that off with Ripken and Murray going 7 for 38. If the Os could do it with that ragtag group, they can certainly do it in 2021.
Timely hitting as well. And that is their recipe for their success so far this year. Lousy bullpen will probably deny them of a championship this year though.
I miss the days of turf and carpets on baseball grounds. and I miss the ways of champs teams fans runing and tearing up carpets and turf, grass up lolz
I'm sorry but artificial turf and carpet are the worst things to ever happen in sports. It looked like crap, and it was bad for players knees and ankles. Like Richie Allen once said "If a cow can't eat it, I don't want to play on it" Or maybe he said horse.
Back when the ORIOLES were actually a good team what I hated about this World Series was being denied a 1959 World Series rematch of WHITE SOX/DODGERS plus I couldn't stand Eddie Murray since it was ORIOLES/PHILLIES I wish the PHILLIES especially Mike Schmidt one of my favorite MLB Players along with Gary Carter would've won another World Series Title
the Baltimore Orioles had a really impressive 20 year stretch from around 1964 to 1983. 6 AL pennants, 3 WS titles and the most wins in baseball.
16 90-win seasons
They won a 100 games this year
They missed the playoffs in 1980 despite winning 100 games.
It’s June 5, 2024. About due time we get back to winning.
RIP Earl Weaver, Mike Flanagan, Paul Owens, Bo Diaz, and Howard Cosell.
Frank was something else
RIP Joe Morgan

@@genesis11amthis was pretty dumb to say.
I went to a Dodgers game in 1990 when Valenzuela tossed a no hitter. Rick Dempsey was Catcher that year and he gladly signed an autograph before the game. Even chatted with us for a while. Nice guy!
66-93 O's pre-Angelos days were a pleasure to watch.
Agree
Actually it wasn't all Angelos' fault. The O's from 86-93 for the most part sucked. Anyone remember the team who started 0-21? Or the pitching staff that surrendered 10 HR's in a single game? Or the team that finished 14-42 in the last 2 months of the season? Or Glenn Davis? All that preceded Angelos
97 they should of been world champions. 96 of course was a little controversial with that yankees series.
for 20 some years, from the early 1960's until this championship season, the Orioles organization had the most wins in baseball...
@@conni70 And, if I remember correctly, the only MLB team to have a winning record over the Yankees during that time period.
This was a marvelous time to be an Orioles fan. I remember Orioles Magic and that's what it was. I also remember this was the last year that the Colts were here in Baltimore. The magic of the O's died somewhat in 1988 with the trading of Eddie Murray it just hasn't been the same spirit. Memorial Stadium had so many great memories that Camden Yards have yet to match. There needs to be a spirit of 33rd Street that is passed to Camden Yards and The Charm'tastic Mile.
The spirit is BACK! Murray was traded because he stopped hustling and became a diva.
Is this what it feels like? Only good run in my life time was 2014 and obviously this past year
Eddie Murray-coolest batting stance of all time.
I agree. At the plate Eddie in that crouched stance looked like a cobra getting ready to strike.
As an O's fan, he was my favorite player growing up.
fun fact..hall of famers Eddie Murray & Ozzie Smith were high school teammates at Locke high school in south central Los Angeles...
@@conni70 I didn't know that about Eddie and Ozzie playing in High School.
Lol.. Seriously?
@@BAKER22-l4u
Yes, when you’re a kid you pay attention to stuff like that. Aesthetics are big when your into a sport.
What memories, seeing Cal leap at SS to grab 3rd out and Champioship, little did I know that 34 yrs would pass with not another sniff of a World Series, oh to be a kid again
@M Soccer is a joke, and so are you! The US will never accept kickball as a real sport
I'd be happy with a season over .500
Man. Nearly forty years! O's were knocking on the door a year earlier. History different had O's met Cards. Brewers didn't have pitching like O's. Yeah. Year of O's. Was nice to see Palmer get a ring. O's had great farm system & it's funny they didn't dominate in '80s.
owner interested in the money not players
As a Brewers fan I feel your pain!
I remember that series like it was yesterday. My dad and I was O's fans and my mother being a Philly fan. It was a war that week at home. GO O's !!!!!
I remember this game in 1983 going head to head with the NFL Sunday. At that time, MLB was more popular than the NFL thus they had luxury of broadcasting games in the daytime. I hope someday MLB will play a World Series in the daytime as a concession to the fans. Thank you,
Im an O's fan but id like to say that the Philly fans were respectful after a tough loss, everytime the O's play the Phills now i think of this series.
I’m an O’s fan but I’ll always have respect for the Phillies. Just cause they’re close to home and some of my family being from there. Whenever the Orioles suck, don’t get me wrong I still watch us and keep up. However if we are truly terrible and the Phillies are doing somewhat good or good than I’ll always root for the Phillies to take it all. That’s IF we’re bad. I wasn’t alive in 83 but I would root for my O’s over the Phil’s in a WS. It would be dividing to say the least, but I’d pull through for my O’s at the end of the day. Much love for Philly. Maryland forever though.
Good point.
Lol..Philly fans are NEVER respectful, which is why Veterans Stadium was the first to have a JAIL
@@Wadiyatalkinabeet_im also catholic and live in Maryland 😂 what’s up?
Al Michaels is SO young here, incredible. Great play by play voice on football, baseball & he did hockey too.
As a Phillies fan, I was really down when they lost this game. However, as both of my parents are/were from Baltimore, I grew up with the O's as my distant second team, so I wasn't as broken up about the Phils losing as I was when they lost in '93 and '09. It also helped that Mom and Dad were thrilled that the O's won, so things weren't that down in my family.
i was a baby when this happened...i can't remember this series but i remember when baltimore played in the postseason...i hope this year they do it.
the Orioles have been in the cellar so long most people don't realize how great of an organization they once were..
You had to be there... The Orioles were the best franchise in baseball from the 60s til the 80s.
Starting to creep back into relevancy..maybe in a couple years another WS
Lol
@rthurbagnall3710 - lol..WTF is WRONG with you
I was 14, grew up an Orioles fan, little did I know this is the only World Series Championship I would ever see. (Not born in 66’ and only a year old in 70’). Will I ever see one again???
Looking like they are on the right track..hang in there
Loved it when Dempsey tore off his mask to celebrate with Hershiser and the Dodgers in 1988. Dempsey was underrated. He got hits in the big moments and wasn't just a defensive catcher in 1988.
Exactly right. Dempsey batted .385 in the '83 World Series and was the series MVP. He committed only two errors in the 1983 season!
Dempsey really didn't hit well but he definitely deserved a Gold Glove or two during his tenure. He was also always fun to watch, his demeanor was great for the game.
All the way through my childhood, from the first time following baseball around 1968-69, the Orioles were "THE team". They didn't win every year, but they were the one you had to beat if you wanted to win. This is where that all ended. Too bad. They weren't my favorite team. That was the White Sox, who the O's beat in the ALCS this year, but I always felt good rooting for the Orioles when my favorite team was out of the running, which they usually were by June. I only have one baseball jersey--a Brooks Robinson.
I recorded the last half inning of this game on the radio on a cassette tape - and I still have the tape, even though I don't have any cassette players. Jon Miller did the O's games back then. "Ripken catches it, and the Orioles are the champions of the world!"
I also recorded the last half inning on cassette off the ABC TV coverage. I like Jon Miller's call better though. Pretty sure I still have the tape. I also have a tape player.
Murray's second home run hits HIS OWN NAME on the scoreboard (where it lists him among the AL's RBI leaders for 1983). Ripken had hair under his cap then, too.,
It is time for another one Baltimore.
It's time for Cleveland and Pittsburgh. They have to two longest streaks now
This was one of the old Sunday afternoon starts past 4:00 PM ET. This way they only went up against the back half of the NFL doubleheader. It was the next to last year of these start times. 1984 was the last start time on Sunday of 4:00 PM ET. In 1985 after the LCS went to a best of 7 format the Series started on Saturday and ALL games were played in prime time.
+John Paulson Yep, I was only 8 in 84 but that's the first WS I remember watching as a kid & I thought the Game 5 started in the afternoon. Shame they will never go back to the day WS games.
Willie Hernandez, loses the 83 World Series then the next year..he's AL MVP, wins the AL Cy Young and one of the biggest reasons Detroit was the best team in baseball capping off with a World Series win in 1984.
Os Baby!!!!!!!! World Series Champs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1983 was the dream season for the Baltimore orioles. I sold A Roof to Eddie Murray back in the early 1990s. I also fixed a leaking skylight for Mike Flanagan. I also did work for Jim Palmer‘s wife.
George Harley Rider Was Murray still living Baltimore at this point?
fake as shit.
The Cincinnati Reds moved to the Philips Philadelphia, but did not win the 1983 series, however the Oakland A's sent 2 players (Hunter, Jackson) and won the 1977-78 series in a row!
Eddie Murray was easily one of the greatest hitters I ever seen in my life....and I say that growing up a Indians fan living near Cleveland and rooting against him almost his entire career.....lol.....Murray has never ever gotten the respect he deserved.....this was when he was in his prime.....he was just as dangerous from both sides of the plate....if the guy had came up and played in a city like New York they would have made him as legendary as they did Mickey Mantle....but because Murray was a private kinda guy didnt like giving interviews and kissing the press behind all the time the way some players who loved the attention like Reggie Jackson did.....Murray was always ignored and given a bad image by the press......who love to try and bury anyone who doesnt kiss their behind.......Murray if he had played the majority of his young career for a team like the Yankees he would have been given the kind of treatment by the press that New York reports did Roger Maris.....because like Maris who prefered a private quite kind of off the field life style.......Murray wouldnt have bent over backwards the way the New York Press would have wanted him to......but Murray you look at him when he crouches down before the pitch in the batters box....tell me that guy wasn't blessed to be a pure monster at the plate.....that stance....that swing....the stance looks like a Lion when it crouches down getting ready to pounce on its prey.......the swing is like a quick strike as if it is a rattle snake attacking its prey......and the ball makes a sound like a crack of thunder and goes zipping through the air as if its a rocket. Even though the Orioles were by 1988-89 in rebuild mode.......the fact if the day they traded Eddie Murray to the Dodgers...was the worst mistake they could have made......The duo of Cal Ripken and Eddie Murray was still in its prime with a lot of baseball left in them both.....but the Orioles felt they should trade Murray for prospects and really cheap help that off season after 1988......Murray remained a solid dependable dangerous hitter for most of the next 8 years after that trade,........he should have like Cal Ripken been a career Oriole........but this 1983 Team that won the world series for the Orioles was the end of the great Orioles teams of the 60's 70's and early 80's really....not because players like Jim Palmer were on the way out....not cause Earl Weaver retired....then unretired and retired again.........it was the end of the Orioles Way as they called it because the Orioles let go of so many of their great minor league managers and coaches and scouts......allowing them to get away to other teams who were offering them more money, promotions and so forth....the Orioles had for 2 decades always had a great farm system.....but by 1983.....the system was getting bare.....the last two key young players I remember they produced in that era was Ripken and Storm Davis who they felt would take Jim Palmers place...Davis had a decent career...became a big winner in the late 80's on the Oakland A's teams of the late A's.,....but Davis was never as good as they once felt he could be.....but as the older vets aged after this 1983 season the Orioles had nothing in the minors coming up to help them really....outside a few outfields like John Shelby and Mike Young who both played a little while but had holes in their games......they had no more impact bats or arms to bring in.....which led them to go out chasing older free agents to fill holes like Fred Lynn and Lee Lacy....and others.....they traded for Alan Wiggins.....but they didnt develope young players....which led to trading one of the best hitters in baseball....Ediie Murray who had been a career Oriole...still in his prime and they dealt him for a group of players none of whom ever really did anything at all to help the Orioles and it caused them to basically waste the rest of Ripken's prime as they really after trading Murray were a horrible team outside of a very lucky 1989 worst to first season in which several young players played great that year while the A.L. East was weaker than it had been in decades.......but after 89, the Orioles fell back off to the rebuilding they really were doing and Ripken's career was wasted basically from then on until near the end of his career before they were able to truly call themselves contenders. Anyway there is your history....lol......but Even as a Indians fan....I hated when he killed our pitching when I was growing up but there was no hitter I loved watching more than Eddie Murray.....you knew every time he came up....he had the ability to do destroy any pitch coming at him no matter who the pitcher was....he was just such a monster of a hitter
He's in Cooperstown and his number retired with the Orioles. Never heard anyone say a bad word about that class act of man and player. Not sure how he can get more respect than that.
Never got to see the full game till now boy did the O's have talent. Great game loved seeing the offense, pitching, defense. Only thing Murray didn't quite get a three run homer but I'd take the 2 run shot back then no complaints.
The 1983 Phillies were an extension of the Big Red Machine with Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, key pieces of the 1970s Cincinnati Reds Dynasty.
oh yeah, the team the O's beat to win the 1970 World Series
I love how Eddie Murray hits his name on the scoreboard on his 2nd HR (54:15).
What ties to the Big Red Machine the Phillies had here, wow! Bo Dias would later play for Cincinnati with Rose as his manager. Joe Morgan, Tony Perez...
Did anyone else notice the singer dropping the national anthem by several whole steps during the middle of the song?
As a teen in the mid 80s, I went to get a perm to have that heavy metal look. It ended up looking like Earl Weavers hair
Weaver's hair looked like that because he lost a bet.
Go Os...please bring some magic in 2023
Snuck into one of the games at memorial stadium with my buddy joe, awesome memory
The thing I remember other then Eddie's 2 Home Runs, was that a fuel tanker exploded on the I-95 ramp outside the Veterans Stadium, delaying the game 35 minutes.
I'm just watching all the world series now on you tube. And I never knew until now that the Phillies were in another world series I knew about 80 93 which they should have won but I'm not bringing that up again still hurts and of course I remember finally 2008 finally damn it finally
Earl Weavers hair is marvelous............................bahahahahaha
That is funny as damn. First thing I wanted to do was get him a haircut so I could recognize him.
He looks ridiculous.
He ate some jiffypop and was inspired.
1:23 …love Earl, but he is wigging me out with that perm!!!
Life-long Oriole fan here. One of the happiest days of my life. The whole city of Baltimore was just a devastated as Earl was when we lost to Pittsburgh. 80% of that team was in Philly this day and the Orioles, after winning 100 games and coming in 2nd place in 1980, finishing the strike shortened, split season with the best overall record, but not in first when it counted in '81, walking down the Brewers who had a 7 1/2 game lead on us with 3 weeks to go, and a 3 game lead with 4 to go, at our place. After a double header sweep on Friday and a crisp n clean pitching and timely hitting the Brewers were finally caught, but it was Miller Time after the Brew Crew bats woke up in a nick of time and Don Sutton shut us down, sending Earl Weaver into the ABC booth. So by the time we go through not 1, but 2 7 game losing streaks, fighting off pesky Toronto (who really got good in '83) and Detroit (35-5 out the gate in 1984 on their way to their Championship) it was finally our chance to take it all. It would be ironic that Earl would be there because it was on ABC who was the network of the '79 series and 82 when Cosell gave Weaver and Baltimore the best sendoff and National promotion anyone could've asked for. If you haven't seen it, look it up.
So I believed Earl when he said, he's glad where he is and couldn't do it anymore. Earl worked hard and smoked a ton of cigarettes. He was burned out. He did comeback a couple of years after, but the team itself was in steep decline on our way to 1988.
I may be a little older, but it's the 1971 series that still rankles me, morre than any other World Series in my baseball watching life. Losing to the Mets was embarrassing, considering that was really a thoroughly mediocre team, but it's one of those flukes that happen every once in a while and you can write it off to bad luck. The 1971 World Series was real, two good teams, but the Orioles were better and should have won. Clemente was great but it came down to a seventh game and then you run into a hot pitcher that one day. If it wasn't for Steve Blass, no matter what Clemente did the Orioles still would have won.
@@RRaquello The Orioles lost the '71 Series in Pittsburgh. Getting swept after taking the first 2 at home. The pitching, while it was so so, was good enough. The real culprit was the bats. When the Orioles lose and lose on the biggest stage it brings to light the criticism that the Weaver strategy which includes 3 run homers. During the regular season, the Birds could get away with lack of speed, and playing small aggressive ball because the pitching was that good, and the defense could hold their own because the Orioles stress defense and positioning. The scouts were some of the best in the game and in most instances the pitching along with excellent glove work will shut down most teams. In 1971 only the Giants Reds, and Pirates played on the fake stuff in the NL, and The Pirates were so much better at home because they took advantage of their own defensive positioning against teams. Cutting off the balls that normally would be clean base hits elsewhere. In Pittsburgh the infield would play deeper, almost shallow outfield because the ball would get to them way faster than balls on grass. The Orioles needed to play NL style in Pittsburgh but being stubborn. Weaver still believed balls would find gaps, or go all the way out, and it just never happened and it cost them the series. They showed their class by bouncing back to win a thrilling game 6 in extras, but Steve Blass, who Weaver (trying to get a edge) upset Blass by sending the ump out to make him pitch on the rubber. It backfired and Blass pitched one of those (no matter what you do, you ain't winning today) games and our shot at a legit dynasty went up in smoke. It was costly because the Oakland A's were just as good as the Birds, but they win and win by any means necessary. A trait the Orioles didn't have, and after defeating the young A's for the pennant in '71, they never could take the A's out in a championship scenario. It took the A's falling, the Red Sox, Yankees. and Royals all bypassing the Birds and even though we won our usual 90 plus games, we all knew we weren't beating any of those teams until we got a little more versatile. That happened in "79. That season is well documented. But...not by me and one day soon, I'm gonna break that season all the way down because a lot happened and dominoes started falling. And we squeezed out 1 last Championship before the Golden Age retired.
@@spryfolII Weaver was playing an early version of the computerized percentage baseball that everyone plays nowadays. The trouble is that while the percentages play out over 162 games, they don't always in a short series, which is why genius managers like Buck Showalter, Whitey Herzog and Bobby Cox had so much success in a long schedule, but so little in the post season. Meanwhile you had Tom Kelly or Cito Gaston who had much less success in the regular season but were able to pull off WS wins in their only opportunities by kind of winging it and adapting to circumstances and taking a chance or playing a hunch once in a while. Nowadays, they're so enslaved to their past performance sheets and "analytics" that they're afraid to deviate from the script because they don't want to face the question, "You did it this way all season, why did you change it in the World Series?", if their hunch move or improvisation failed.I don't think Weaver was enslaved to quite the extent that managers are today, but the team was built along certain lines where they couldn't easily change from that 3 run HR strategy. They had some speed with Buford and Blair, but they didn't use it much. In 1966 they had Russ Snyder, who was considered fast, along with Blair (I'm too young to remember that series, and of course that was pre-Weaver), and I think Curt Blefary was pretty quick too. I don't remember how fast Belanger was, though being tall and skinny he looked like he'd be fast, but you can't always tell by that. I don't know if they had enough speed to play any other game than the one they played. But when they got to game seven they were going to lose anyway with Blass pitching the game of his life.
BTW, you may remember that there was one artificial turf field in the American League: Comiskey Park. For a few years they had it but, oddly enough, only in the infield. They had a grass outfield. When Bill Veeck bought the Sox, around 1976, he had the artificial stuff torn out and replaced by real grass. But the AL didn't have a full artificial turf field, I think, until the new KC ballpark opened around 1973 and Whitey Herzog built his team to take advantage of it, much like the Pirates, Cards and Astros did. The Reds & Phillies not quite as much because even as new stadiums with fake turf, their parks were hitter friendly and good HR parks.
Great singer 👩🎤!!! 🎤
Great performance to willie hernandez in the 6, 7 and 8 innings with 5 strikeouts.
I legitimately miss not seeing 100000s of stats flash on the screen and the shift, OPS, this stat and that and how good a pitcher is when its 80 degrees on a Sunday versus 74 on a Monday.
On the contrary, Scott MacGregor was an amazing pitcher.
It doesn't even look like he's trying but he throws some heat
One thing I don't miss about these older games are the generic ugly multi purpose saucer shaped ballparks w/the cheap, and dangerous turf like Veterans stadium. Todays stadiums are so much better.
See, that's precisely what I liked about the older games - the unique stadium layouts which makes every game a challenge for teams. While the newer stadiums are nice to sit in, they seem to be missing a lot of character with their cookie-cutter dimensions.
@@centuryrox I must disagree. In my opinion, the older stadiums of the 70s and 80s were the "cookie-cutters"; Veterans, Shea, Riverfront, Three Rivers, and Busch. The modern parks I've visited recently are great. They may be a bit sterile, but I enjoy the games much more in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis in their new parks.
@@civlyzed "Sterile" is the word I should've used instead of cookie-cutter. Sure, the newer parks have all the amenities and generally better sight lines. I grew up in Baltimore, following the Orioles of course. Memorial Stadium certainly had it's share of faults, and Camden Yards is one of the best stadiums around, but the atmosphere in Camden Yards doesn't hold a candle to Memorial Stadium. Every one who went to a game at the old stadium felt like they were part owner of the place. Camden Yards feels way too "corporate", like your existence there doesn't mean much more than a couple extra bucks in their coffers.
@@centuryrox Gotcha. I certainly do miss the good old days when the fans were just regular folks. I can't afford to go to more than a couple of games a year now and regular folks have been all but priced out. Corporate BS!
@@civlyzed I think we can pin a lot of the blame on the players as well (Machado - $30 million/yr for 10 years!!) I can remember being pissed at Eddie Murray for getting $2.1 million a year! The average fan has definitely been priced out. A baseball game used to be an easy night out - couple bucks for a ticket, a beer or two, and a hot dog. Now it's a major expense, one that I have not partaken in almost 4 years. The last time I went to an O's game it was $10 night for an upper deck seat, and I bought ONE fountain soda for $5.75. Getting back to the stadium though - Camden Yards is all the way downtown. I live in the northern suburbs, and I just don't feel like going all the way downtown, into traffic gridlock, to see a game, especially one that's WAY overpriced. Memorial Stadium was in a residential area in the geographic center of the city, with numerous roads for access, making traveling to the game no hassle at all.
Funny to see Orioles winning world serie. This team who have now a team with avg of .300 since 10-20 years
What a park. A concrete monstrosity. I couldn't count how many games I attended at Veteran's Stadium. My first was in 1976 vs. the Expos, my last was 9-27-2003, the second to last ever game there. On that day Jim Thome hit two home runs and John Smoltz blew a save. I still have the t-shirt I bought that day - it's never been worn.
I went up with my father from Baltimore in 1982 season. We watched I believe the Phil's vs. Mets and I remember George Foster hit 2 singers (day night dblheader) I remember there was a sixty some year old woman with 2 of her elder sons behind us and they were smoking weed, my pops got up and we left, only at the Vet
It's been 30 years since I saw that game and the Orioles were quite a good ball club and this would be the last world series they would win. So it's been a long time for them.
they the Orioles always use to have great starting pitching from the mids 60s to the mid 80s
Did Earl Weaver also get a World Series Ring with the rest of the Orioles? Keep in mind, this was Weaver’s Team that Joe Altobelli won The World Series with.
Born in the 2000s, and this is all I want. Just for them to win it all. Just once. I get the people who’ve been waiting for a Orioles championship for so long after this, but at least you have this and the two others (66, 70), to live on if you were around for all 3, 2 or just even 1. What do we have? Yeah Camden Yards is amazing, don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful, but it would be better if a WS game was played in it.
Well my nigga looks like it’s otw😂
Several of the Phillies by age at the time of this 1983 World Series: Rose 42, Perez 41, Morgan 40, Schmidt 34, Maddox 34, Matthews 33, Carlton 38, McGraw 39, Reed 40
Baltimore won because Schmidt's bat was ice cold and Carlton wasn't the Carlton that won the CY Young award. Mogan, Rose, Perez , meh. Rose actually played well and Perez only played in this game. McGraw was hurt the entire series as was Christianson.
The ‘83 Phillies = The Wheeze Kids
Day games in the Series. Don't see that anymore.
Agreed on that, the games themselves should be broadcast during the day, period!!!
NoGoodBoyo1000 1984 Game 5 @ Tiger Stadium was the very last WS day game ever.
Actually Game 6 of the 1987 World Series was a day game. it was played inside the Metrodome between Minnesota and St Louis. Game 6 of the 1988 World Series also would have been played Saturday afternoon had it been needed. But of course the Dodgers made sure it wasn't needed as hey beat the A's in 5 games.
No, and it's a damn shame!
NoGoodBoyo1000 the world was different. Somehow enough people were able get off work for a World Series game. Nowadays it would dead for a playoff game and not many people would watch on tv
See people this is baseball. No replays, no shifts, and no jacked up beefcakes
I did root for the Phillies in the 1980 World Series only because I was angry at George Brett and the Royals after what they did against the Yankees in the 1980 ALCS. But not in this 1983 World Series. Yankees Fan and I was seriously pulling for the Orioles in this World Series. For some stupid reason in 1979 I don't know why I was rooting for the Pirates and then realized how stupid I was when my Dad who has also been a Yankees Fan since the 1940's told me about what happened to the Yankees against the Pirates in the 1960 World Series then after hearing that I despised the Pirates since.
I wonder how many people watching Willie Hernandez in this series would guess he'd be voted American League MVP the following year.
Every single player, for the most part, are so thin and lanky.
Compared to the over inflated sides of beef that play today, it was a different time for baseball. No steroids.
Definitely less noticeable... I'm not sure there were "no" steroids in the 1980s... if you've read any 1960s or 70s NFL players biography (most of them anyway) you'll read about the large jars of "vitamins" that were kept in the locker rooms... the rule was, every time you walk by, you take one.
I'm sure neither the players nor the trainers or coaches ever acknowledged what they were... but I'm also sure everybody knew what they were.
As Bill Lee used to say of his time with the Red Sox: "I could pitch in the American league but they'd never have let me run the Kentucky Derby"
Steroids in the 90s and early 2000s became much, much more effective. However, I'll always believe that steroids have been a part of professional sports since at least the late 1960s.
Not only a scarcity of steroids, there were other things back then. Remember, the 80s had their drug issues too. Alot of amphetamines, powder cocaine, crack cocaine. Those drugs made alot of people skinny. And then consider the diets back then. People didn't eat as big of portions as they do now, and when they ate, it wasn't as much fat as it is today. And something else. I suspect body building wasn't as big among baseball players as it is today. I suspect that back in the 70s and 80s, baseball players lifted weights, but not to the same extent as football players. It was more than likely a part of body conditioning and keeping yourself in shape. You lifted for strength, not so much for bulk.
Joe morgan had nothing to be ashamed of he had a hell of a world series along with a hell of a career at 40 who could hit 2 hrs in a world series
This 1983 Phillies team was a sad shell of its former self. Boone, Trillo, Bowa, and Bull all gone, replaced by Reds relics of an even older Championship team. Christenson suffering a career ending arm injury. Rose, Reed, McGraw, Maddox, and even Owens were all gone by the end of 1984. Carlton had one more effective season before essentially being washed. Schmidt was left to languish the rest of the decade with Hayes and Samuel, two highly touted prospects who were good but never fully lived up to expectations, and ended up being used as trade pieces to help put the '93 team together. From 1984-2002, the Phillies had just three winning teams in that span.
I love the Phillies but 83 was a little past their prime. 1980 was their year.
Hudson was considered a hard thrower in 1983 clocking in at 91 mph. Dudes sliders are faster than that now... damn.

One of the best comedy films of the decade, "National Lampoon's Vacation" came out that summer and somehow isn't even on the list, while Staying Alive and Mr. Mom cracked the top 10.
That little off-key-sounding "mistake" when Andrea McCartle sings the Star Spangled Banner seems like it might be her sly little sly "inside-joke" on the audience. I love her, and remember her well from my years growing up in the Philadelphia area. With best, kind, regards; =====>Mark Creek-water Dorazio, long-time Phillies fan
It's kind of striking how unimpressive the talent is on the 1983 Orioles. You've got Cal Ripken and Eddie Murray, which is a good start. But then you've got John Shelby and Dan Ford making up two thirds of the outfield, and Todd Cruz and Rich Dauer in the infield. Pitching, you've got Jim Palmer near the end of his career, two (really) soft tossers in Flanagan and McGregor, and Dennis Martinez, then in the grip of cocaine addiction, posting a negative WAR season.
I'd say this was the least talented Orioles team of this era. Yet they won the World Series. Go figure.
Offensively, yes. Pretty weak. But those soft tossers were stellar. Add Storm Davis and Mike Boddicker and you see how they won.
Gary Mathews, under appreciated!
Cal made the final leap, but don't forget Tito Landrum's LONG running catch in right field to open Scotty's ninth. We were there, sons Jon, Jordan, and a young lady, in the dead center field seats to see the three homers and the Homeric (!) South Philly traffic jam after the game.
I was 6 months old here
Boy, the 83' Orioles really had to have had great pitching - Murderer's Row they were not offensively.
13:50 - "Well not necessarily doctoring the ball but he had a sticky substance to make that slidder and that braking ball so good." Isn't that exactly what doctoring the ball means??? WTF Weaver.
Eddie Murray wasn’t playing around. He made sure the World Series ended in game 5.
Imagine a QB who fumbles a snap

Love it!!
Dude in the stands finds where the crowd mic is somehow and evangelizes to Cosell behind the broadcast. Can't make this stuff up.
How ironic Cal Ripken Jr. caught the last out. He was the 1983 AL MVP.
GO O'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last World Series game called by Howard Cosell, and Pete Rose's last game with the Phillies.
Thank God!
(Howard Cosell was so annoying.)😂🤓😎
Philly should've traded for Johnny Bench while they were at it.
RIP Joe Morgan..

Listen to television coverage of Game 3 of the 2008 World Series, and you will hear clearly the echo of the Citizens Bank Park PA system when there is no music as Dan Baker does the pregame proceedings and then during the National Anthem.
Man Earl Weaver had the thunder cloud!!!!!!!
7:50.... She still has Annie's voice. : )
Oh wow she changed keys on the National Anthem like crazy 😂😂😂
I always thought Scott McGregor had a smooth delivery.

My son Seth was a year old in 83. Sure miss those days on woodland circle. No job no money no car no milk but I did have a kid.
I have been lucky enough to go to two world series games an the Orioles lost them both 79 game 7 pirates an the first game against the Phillies
40 years later, the final game would also be a 5-0 score, also as the fifth game.
Also I think this one hurts less cause I knew nothing about it. I was a baby when this was happening. Only reason I know about Early Phillies cause I heard about Pete rose being apart of that team
I am a long time Orioles fan...50 years. WTF were these guys doing in the WS? Look at the Phillies. I mean maybe the idea is that pitching wins it, but g-damn...Lets watch the os do it in 2021.
Was that English?
WTF
@@josecarranza7555 Yes. Let me explain because perhaps you are stupid. I've been an Os fan for 50 years and a die-hard fan. The Phillies in this game were like a team of allstars hall-of-famers (Morgan, Rose [he should be in], Schmidt, Matthews, Perez, Maddox, ) and the Orioles were Cal Ripken, Eddie Murray, and Who? You probably don't know the rest of the team. Take a look at the box score. There are nonames in the Os lineup (Shelby, Landrum, Dauer, Cruz, Roenike, Lowenstien, Demsey [though I like him], Bumbry past his prime). Top that off with Ripken and Murray going 7 for 38. If the Os could do it with that ragtag group, they can certainly do it in 2021.
@@richardlynch8009 The Phillies were past their prime. And the Orioles had better pitching.
Dumb ass. You old fuck.
Howard began to piss Earl off right about the 5th inning...
2:04 dude straight up gives the camera a middle finger
The Demper with a dinger
At 29:50 Weaver actually thought Murray held his swing up, lol
I know right. He didn't break his wrist but that bat was a mile in front of the plate.
(1:04:59)
Awww, I wanted to here what Jim Lampley was gonna report on.
Not there?
Probably the other sports taking place that day (on what day of the week was this game played?)
As a lifetime O's fan, I still don't know how this team of rag tags beat a lineup with 4 hall of famers. Pitching wins championships I guess.
Timely hitting as well. And that is their recipe for their success so far this year. Lousy bullpen will probably deny them of a championship this year though.
A Philly salute at 2:03:59 just before the final out.
I hope so,but it doesn't come true ultimately....Let's expect the next year but in fact,I just hope Chen can improve himself~
How did that work out for you?
Star Spangled Banner girl changed keys on us half way through the song! Yikes!
Roses bat might have been cold but pete could do so many things to get something started
Love that joke Earl Weaver made about umpire palermo having a quick temper, and that he only "ran" him out 4 times
I miss the days of turf and carpets on baseball grounds. and I miss the ways of champs teams fans runing and tearing up carpets and turf, grass up lolz
I'm sorry but artificial turf and carpet are the worst things to ever happen in sports. It looked like crap, and it was bad for players knees and ankles. Like Richie Allen once said "If a cow can't eat it, I don't want to play on it" Or maybe he said horse.
Back when the ORIOLES were actually a good team what I hated about this World Series was being denied a 1959 World Series rematch of WHITE SOX/DODGERS plus I couldn't stand Eddie Murray since it was ORIOLES/PHILLIES I wish the PHILLIES especially Mike Schmidt one of my favorite MLB Players along with Gary Carter would've won another World Series Title
