Photographic Evidence That the Orioles Used to Be Really Good
By Jamie Mottram | July 30, 2007
These six HOFer are the primary reason why the O’s had only three losing seasons and played in six World Series between 1960 and ‘85. Total studs, each and every one. Too bad I didn’t consciously follow the team until ‘86, because from then till now Baltimore has only had five winning seasons and never made it to the Series.
We may not post about Earl Weaver again until the day he dies — and the 76 year-old looks like a million bucks — so this is an opportunity to link to Earl going off on Manager’s Corner and expertly working over an ump. Both YouTubes are highly recommended.

I went up to Cooperstown for Palmer’s induction (3 years before Angelos took over the team). Definitely worth a trip.

Weaver doesn’t look like he could hurt a fly.
