"Orioles Classics" rewind: 1970, year of the Birds
As we move closer to spring training - and, hopefully, toward storing the rock salt and snow shovels for the winter - it's time to throw back to some of the most memorable games in Orioles history: the 1970 World Series, where the Birds vanquished the vaunted Big Red Machine from Cincinnati in five games to win their second world championship. Future Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, along with eventual all-time hit king Pete Rose, were no match for Earl Weaver's Orioles. If you're...
