5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! The ultimate Orioles book., May 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Baltimore Orioles: Four Decades of Magic from 33rd Street to Camden Yards (Hardcover)

This is one of those books you will pull from the shelf again and again. Forward by the ultimate third baseman, Brooks Robinson. Ted Patterson is not only a fan but covered the team, and knows just what O's fans want to know. Great photos of the players, the parks, and the action, as well as memorabilia the author has collected over the years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Relive the truly great years . . . ., November 27, 2006

By	Derek S. Martin (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Baltimore Orioles: Four Decades of Magic from 33rd Street to Camden Yards (Hardcover)

I love this book. Stories of the team back in the day when they truly played as one unit and captured the hearts of the city that supported them. I grew up in Baltimore and now live on the west coast, and you have no idea how great it was to grow up with the Orioles (and the Colts), in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, until you view it from another city and a different time. The O's represented all that was good about baseball and the story of the personality of the team is well told.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was a great book., January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Baltimore Orioles: Four Decades of Magic from 33rd Street to Camden Yards (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed reading Mr. Patterson's book. Being a young Oriole's fan, it shared with me the glory of the past days in Baltimore as well as the downfalls. The one thing that bothered me about the book was the pictures. The majority of them were autographed and that took away from their point in my opinion. Also, the captions on the pictures usually told about things that would happen a few pages ahead. This would tell you prematurly about what was going to happen.
