ORIOLES SOAR IN 1966,
By COOL JEWEL (MACEDONIA, OHIO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black and Blue: Sandy Koufax, the Robinson Boys, and the World Series That Stunned America (Paperback)
THIS BOOK BROUGHT BACK SOME GREAT MEMORIES OF THE 66 SEASON. I WAS AND STILL AM A CLEVELAND INDIANS FAN. THE TRIBE AND ORIOLES BOTH WERE OFF TO GREAT STARTS. A KEY SERIES WAS IN MAY THE TRBE WAS IN BALTIMORE FOR A 4 GAME SERIES. THE FIRST TWO WERE SPLIT. THE BIRDS WON THE 1ST GAME OF A SUNDAY DOUBLEHEADER RATHER EASILY. THE 2ND GAME SHOWED WHAT A SPECIAL PLAYER FRANK ROBINSON WAS. HE CLOBBERED A BALL CLEAR OUT OF MEMORIAL STADIUM. THINGS WERE PRETTY MUCH DOWN HILL FOR CLEVELAND AFTER THAT. F ROBBY HAD A FANTASTIC SEASON AND WON THE TRIPLE CROWN. SUPPORTED BY B ROBBY, BOOG, BLEFARY AND APARICIO THEY EASILY WON THE PENNANT. THE DODGERS WERE THEIR OPPONENT IN THE SERIES. THE BIRDS OF BALTIMORE SWEPT THE DODGERS. A VERY GOOD YOUNG ROTATION LEAD BY PALMER AND MCNALLY KEPT THE INEPT DODGER BATS SILENT. AFTER SCORING A GIGANTIC TWO RUNS IN THE 1ST GAME, THEY WERE SHUTOUT FOR THE NEXT THREE. TOM ADELMAN DOES A VERY NICE AND DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THIS SEASON. THIS BOOK IS WELL READING AND I SUGGEST IT FOR ALL BASEBALL HISTORIANS AND ORIOLE FANS.
