Watched the Orioles play in the 1966 World Series sitting in my 3rd grade classroom...have been an Orioles fan since and I'm 63

The one thing I remember about those Baltimore teams, they were good. Had great pitching staffs and loved their hats with the cartoon Oriole bird. I actually went out and bought it back in the 1970's with any saved money I had from doing chores. That's when Baseball was Baseball and you knew the players and teams.

Elrod Hendricks and Andy Etchebarren are often forgotten when the 20 game winners Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Miguel Cuéllar and 1971s, Pat Dobson are celebrated. Ellie and Andy did a 1-derful job handling those great pitchers.

Went to 1 game that year! I was 11yrs old how my Mom🙏 got 2 tickets? I'll never know but I'll never forget it😇👍

my first ever baseball game when i was in Cub Scouts. . 1970 Oakland A's v. the Baltimore Orioles. at Oakland

1970 Orioles - my all time favorite team! - - and I'm a St Louis Cardinals fan.

What a great team. It was terrific seeing many of the still recognizable faces.

Boog was always my favorite, but I loved all these guys. They gave me such a thrill when they won the Series. Still have my scrapbook with newspaper clippings, and I just turned 66.

Fantastic ceremony!!! Those were some terrific Orioles teams.

So much love.. Thank you for the memories... Peacemakerservant1

Love ya, Brooks! 😢 R.I.P.

Great to see Mark Belangers wife Dee . Your dad along with Brooks and Davey gave us fans some great ball. Mark was my favorite shortstop .

I also started watching baseball in 1970 during the World Series. I took the Orioles because all the other boys in my fourth grade class liked the Reds. I was amazed by Frank Robinson’s hitting and Brooks Robinson’s fielding. I imitated them in my backyard for years, hitting rocks “out of the park” like Frank and bouncing a ball off the bricks making diving stops like Brooks! Although I live in NC, the professional teams of Baltimore became my lifelong teams. Thank you 1970s Baltimore Orioles!!!

A great team of the greatest of memories. I saw them as a kid at Fenway.

I was in the 6th grade during this World Series. We watched part of one game in gym glass since they still did day games for the World Series then. I was born in Baltimore, though I live in NC now. But I am STILL an O's fan. Such mixed emotions seeing this video. It was great to see these men, but so sad to know that so many had passed, but still great that their wives or sisters could represent them.

Loved the O's (aka Birds) of this era.

GO ORIOLES BUT TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

I'm a Yankee fan, but I gotta tell ya that this team here is when I just started getting interested in baseball as a kid. Maybe because I always got a kick out of the name Boog Powell. I did, but this was a good team for years.

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

I was lucky enough to be at the WS game 5 clincher. Oh what a series Brooks had!!! Baltimore City was one big party after the game❤

Sadly, we also lost Paul Blair in 2013, Mike Cuellar in 2010, Andy Etchebebarren in 2019, Jim Hardin in 1991, Elrod Hendricks in 2005, Curt Motton in 2010, Dave Mcnally in 2002, Tom Phoebus in 2019, Frank Robinson in 2019 and Earl Weaver in 2013, Great Memories for me and I was only 8 years old then.

Still not too late to retire Boog's number.

The last 4 mentioned were true Orioles icons! Earl.Weaver Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson and Jim Palmer!

I remember as a kid, growing up in MD near Andrews AFB, seeing many of these guys play in their prime. Sobering that even TEN years ago, so many had already passed on. Since then, Frank Robinson as well, and I'm sure a few others that appeared for this 40th anniversary of that 1970 World Series Championship team.

Boog Powell, Dave Johnson, Mark Belanger, Brooks Robinson, Don Buford, Paul Blair, Frank Robinson, Elston Howard, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Pat Dobson, Dave McNally...

Paul Blair and Earl Weaver died in 2013, prob not long after this. Others who passed from that team are mark Belanger, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, Moe Drabowsky (who starred in 66 world series), Jim Hardin, Elrod Hendricks. Orioles were unbelievable from 1969-71

This was my team and was responsible for me playing baseball. I remember in school in CA, they would wheel the TV into the cafeteria and play the World Series. I still collect baseball cards but only from about 1978 and earlier. Don't get me going about the overpaid, ego driven players of today!

Growing up in Towson and playing Rodger's Forge Little League there were certain unwritten, but obsered, rules. The best player on the team wore #5. The second best wore #20. As a catcher I wore #8 through Little League, high school, American Legion, and on. No, this was way before Cal Ripken. #8 was for Andy Etchebarren. RIP. It's so hard to see the heroes of my youth age. Frankly, it's hard to recognize the guy's face shave every morning. I cr8ed when Frank Robby died. I'll be inconsolable when Brooksie is gone. *One story about #5. We moved from Towson to Richmond. In the early 80s, before his election into the HOF, Crown Petroleum was sponsoring an autograph promotion featuring Brooks Robinson, a spokesman for the company, at local Crown stations. I made a plan to stop by the nearby station, when I arrived there was Brooks. Sitting by himself at a table under an umbrella. I was a little nervous, I mean it's Brooks Robinson. I introduced myself, mentioned my Uncle John who handled some of his insurance needs. He also asked how my aunt was. He couldn't have been nicer, so gracious. I spent 30 minutes with him. Not one person came by while I was there. I finally, hesitantly, said my goodbyes. He said, "You sure you cant stay a little longer?" I finally left posters in hand. Yes, I still have them. Fast forward to the 90s, I'm living in Jacksonville, and the local Books-a-Million is having a book signing featuring Brooks Robinson. I drag my wife with me and when we arrive there is a line out the door. I tell my wife I'm not going to stand in line. So we walk into the store and make our way to the back where the book signing is taking place. I just want to catch a glimpse of Brooks. We get within 10 feet of the table and inexplicably Brooks looks up, we make eye contract, he raises his hand, waves and says, "How's your Aunt Pat?" One of a kind! Thank you for so many wonderful memories.

Grew up a Yankee fan in the 70’s but always respected the Orioles.

1970. Baltimore becomes the first city to win the W.S. and the Super Bowl in the same season.

I miss those days,.

Bobby Grich is also in the California Angels Hall of Fame.

Jim Palmer decided he wasn’t going to age

One of my favorite uniforms

0:37 that’s my grandfather

Palmer looks like he could still pitch

How does Jim Palmer do it? He looks so much younger than the rest of these guys.

I remember Jim Palmer was inducted into the HOF and years later he wanted to unretire and pitched again. It didn't pan out though.

This is when we had great teams in Baltimore but not anymore

Andy Etchabarren still looks like a badass.

What a team!

At 13:17 music was very nice 👍

The first time I watched the world series was 1970. I was a fan of both Pete Rose and Johnny Bench, I didn't know that Frank Robinson was black nor did I that Brooks Robinson was white. I thought they were brother's.... my big brother who was well read in the arena of big league baseball, brought me up to speed and I found out what the Robinson's could do to any opposing team!!

This ball cubs would being. Late 60th early 70th ⚾

Finalists for the best "Clutch Cargo" chin -- Andy Etchebarren and Bobby Grich

There were a number of managers who were good "umpire baiters" and could make an ump look silly. Leo Durocher was a good one among others, but nobody could do it better than Earl Weaver could. I remember one incident when Earl and some umpire go into a heated argument. Finally the ump said " I can prove it Earl, I have the rule book". Earl came back with "That doesn't help me any, I can't read braille" Brilliant.

There won't ever be a '69 reunion! LFGM!!!

Jim Palmer is very handsome

Who is Mazzone? It looks like he had both hands amputated.

Dick Hall, bola submarina.

All of this info, but what year was this reunion??

Did the Orioles invite Ken Burkhart?

World Championship - how does that work when the rest of th world is not there?

Oriole Baseball!!!!
