Thank you Karen! I grew up playing baseball in Brooklyn (6th St. fields), Maryland. I believe it was around 1976, when I was 7. I loved every minute of it :)
P.O.N.Y League. "Protect Our Nations Youth" in case anyone was wondering.
Growing up a Sox die hard I quickly learned all about the curse. I had small memories on 78. Just remember my dad really being upset . 1986 was my introduction to the agony of being a Sox fan. Yeah the Cubs went longer w/o a title but no team ever came as close, only to watch it slip away 1967 the " Impossible Dream" turned to heartache while a surprising underdog was just overwhemed by some Gibson fellow. 1975 had it all . One of the greatest series ever. A powerhouse Reds dynasty against a team of castoffs, journeyman and a solid if not Hall of Fame youngsters making their mark. Fisk, Lynn, Yaz, Evans, Jim Rice would miss the WS after his wrist was broken by a hit by pitch. And a solid line up that had Remy, Burleson, unlikely hero Bernie Carbo, Spaceman Bill Lee. In a series of excitement, drama, controversy, the ups and downs, the famoys moments the Sox would lose on 7 games and a common event , they'd lose late in the game. Blowing a lead, or some wild, unexpected event. The 86 team was the perfect representation of the Sox Curse. A yr after a mediocre 81- 81 yr, the 86 team took the league by storm. An unknown, unproven Roger Clemens thrust into the national spotlight after a 20 strike out performance in late April on a chilly night at a mostly empty Fenway Park. The Sox had bern very mediocre since 78. They lost Fisk , and Lynn to free agency. And mostly over the hill , average players filled the roster. Wade Boggs was the star of the team, an aging Rice was still an all star, Dewey Evans, was blossoning into a potential hall of famer. But that was pretty much it. The pitching was decent Hurst, Nipper, Boyd, were the headliners after the young Clemens. Bob Stanley led a capable but underwhelming bullpen. That year was magic. If course we all know how ut ended. Poor Bill Buckner shouldered the blame of poor managing, choking, and bad decisions. This is why the Sox curse was always worse than the Billy goat Cubs curse. Its like being invited to the prom by the hottest , most popular girl, only for her to pull out at the last minute. While for the Cubs it was like never being invited in the first place. Anyway the "Curse of the Bambino " was nothing more the really horrible ownership decisions. Tom Yawkey may be a RedSox legend. But he was undeniably a racist. He and his managers turned away players such as Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Josh Gibson. They gave away a young Pee Wee Reese. Had chances to draft Joe DiMaggio, and Duke Snyder. Thats the real curse of the Bambino. And the reason it took 86 yrs to finally win a championship
Amazing that in all my yrs I never heard of this curse... well ex curse now. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on being the announcer to this great piece of history.
Much better than the baseball museum
Stolen from Cleveland by Art Modell like the Colts were stolen to Indy.
Where can I get these photos
Omg I needed this
We’re is your muesium
Do you give away jerseys I love your videos I’m a subscriber
Actually the former Orioles came out of the dugout and returned to their former positions. Brooks Robinson was the first to emerge and went to third base. Later they assembled in a circle. This is a pretty sloppy video considering how many errors were made in such a short amount of time.
Great story. Let's remember that softball is not baseball, that if this young lady backed up to sixty feet and threw a smaller ball overhand the results against Ruth and Gehrig would be, let's say, "embarrassing". Women weren't really banned: they just couldn't hit a 95 mph rising fastball nor strike out Cobb once, much less on a regular basis. If women could play baseball today, quite simply, they would. It's fashionable in the age of PC to insinuate women can do anything men can. Whatever.
You do know that she did play against babe ruth in baseball NOT softball right? so she did indeed pitch on the same field as the other men. Not only that but he didn't let her strike him out. Theres a footage of him and her batting in the game and when he strikes out hes fuming and throws his bat down. ALSO before that game in the newspaper he was stating how women are far too fragile and dainty to be able to compete in a mans game. He clearly would've shot her down and humbled her if he could. He wouldn't pridefully say something like that and then purposefully lose. You are clearly just an insecure man. Not a man, a boy. And to set things straight, im not liberal or feminist. But you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
'promo sm'
In the book "Ballpark: Camden Yards and the Building of an American Dream" by Peter Richmond......there are a couple innocuous sentences buried in the text that Art Modell was looking at Baltimore immediately after the Colts moved to Indy -- but would only consider moving the Browns if Cleveland was assured of an expansion franchise to coincide with the relocation.
Is that number 19? I have number 20 jacket !!!
Babe Ruth & lou gehrig let the girl strike them out: otherwise it a baseball out of yankee stadium ; babe Ruth & lou gehrig homeruns
My hero lefty Grove unhittable pitcher
I know that giving the retiring legend a fat pitch to hit is a baseball tradition and done with good intentions. However, I wonder if some of these guys resent it because they want to earn the hit and not feel like they are receiving charity. At the same time, I'm sure plenty are just enjoying their last game and seeing everything in a positive light.
Amazing
What a great piece of baseball history! Really sad that women ball players were banned back then, particularly after that stellar performance! Wish the baseball league would lift that ban!!!
Still have my Colts # 41 , bought in 1969 as a kid ! It still fits !
Did no actual copy of Manager's Corner survive? Just the gag one?
Such a fun interview with Nicole Sherry, another Maryland woman who is paving a path for women and girls in non-traditional fields.
I think this movie was the best account of his life and career, as well!
Mike gets it wrong about how many outs Flanagan got in the ninth. Gregg Olson got the first out in the ninth, and Flanagan came in and got the next two.
Lydell Mitchell & Chuck Muncie Backfield.
I sponsored one of the Babe’s home runs back in the 1990s. One of his homers from 1922. There was a little plaque in the museum with my name on it. I wonder if that’s still there?
Wow
So good
Wonderful story! Very hard working, talented man who loved football and his family very much. Mark, thanks for sharing this story and the one about Coach Runk. You have a way with words and delivery, perhaps a new career for you!! Well done!!
That was great, Mark! Well done, great story. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! You even taught me a few facts about my Big Bob that I didn’t know mark! Love it! And loved my Big Bob so much!
Thanks for watching - it's great when relatives can add to the history of our sports heritage!
Best Babe Ruth movie ever.
what a place to visit--right by the ball park too!
As long as the great game is played -- the Bambino will stand alone as THE icon.
Yep!!
Love this place
I, as a relative newcomer to Orioles fandom, love the emphasized "O" in the anthem. Note, however, that Queen Elizabeth went to an Oriole game in 1991 and "was *not* amused." (Her issue. Not ours.)
im sure there is an awesome brooks robinson display. much respect
This display focuses on the teams and players who primarily played at Camden Yards, so no Brooks here - but there is a neat locker room display on the Club Level that features Brooks. We <3 Brooks!!
Two of the best to ever play in the nfl /////////////////////////////////////////
Not 5 or 6 miles north of Balto. City.
I'm going to assume he meant in Baltimore City, north of the museum.
Memorial Stadium was 3 miles north of camden yards, the museum, and downtown
Great to see these two great legends still looking good and healthy these days👍
bert jones and lydell mitchell, hmm, aint that a thing
Great story! I'm not 73 years-old, a life long die hard Red Sox fan, but also a huge fan of Brooks Robinson. I've been a MLB fan a long time, and Brooks was the greatest third baseman I've ever seen, and I'll never forget what he did vs.the Cincinnati Reds in the 1070 World Series! George Scott came up to the Big Leagues with my Boston Red Sox, and he married a girl from my hometown, Falmouth, Ma. I had the pleasure of meeting 'The Boomer' at a 'Lil' Peach' store here in Falmouth. It was 1980, and Maury Wills had just been named manager of the Seattle Mariners. I had heard on the news that Wills was thinking about making George Scott his first baseman. This was not long after Scott had played his last game in the Majors with the New York Yankees in 1979. As George was ready to go out the door with a bag of groceries in hand, I said to him: "Hey George, I heard Maury Wills wants you as his first baseman for the Mariners." Mr. Scott stopped suddenly, half way through the door, game me a long look and replied, "I didn't hear anything about that.", and left the store. I was pleasantly surprised that he stopped for they moment and spoke to me because, as you mentioned, he wasn't too thrilled about talking with the press OR fans.<G>
That was great! I'm from Massachusetts, and of course grew up a die-hard Red Sox fan. A few years ago my wife and I visited Baltimore just to see Babe Ruth's birthplace, Camden Yards, and the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum. Baltimore is a great city, and Camden Yards was right up there with Fenway when it came to watching MLB. My late wife was also named Janet Marie, congratulations to YOU Janet Marie Smith for giving us fans the jewel that is Camden Yards! I've been a Frank Robinson fan since his playing days with the Reds. My youngest daughter and her husband have a picture they had take with the great Hall of Famer. Mr. Robinson was not just a great player, but a great person as well.
Thanks for the kind words about our city!

Thanks so much for sharing this!
Awesome program!
Absolutely agree.
28:17 Bert light weight exposing the damned cheating Pittsburgh was doing to win with their steroid laden team. What made his arm swell like that? A hit?
I never saw his ball teams, but I did have the honor of calling Sheriff Fowble, Uncle. Him and Aunt Virginia made a heck of a team in their own rights.
