As I watch these highlights, I try to guess/imagine/remember the ballparks these ballplayers played in. Being a Tigers' fan, I love seeing clips from my home park, but enjoy seeing all of the other (now long gone) Stadiums. Classics all!
Unbelievable to see a young John Sterling, the long-time voice of the Yankees at 40:55 doing the Hofberger interview. Many PBP clips by Frank Messer who was a Yankee announcer from 1968-85.

The Los Angeles Dodgers did hold the Orioles to a .200 Batting Average. Both teams played solid defense excluding Dodger Willie Davis' Game 2 defensive collapse. The 4th run scored off Koufax during the 6th Inning, the only earned run, was set up by another misplayed fly ball, hit by Frank Robinson, by again Center Fielder Willie Davis and Right Fielder Ron Fairly which they let fall in front of both of them. Frank Robinson's line drive was ruled a Triple. Robinson then scored on a Boog Powell Single. The Los Angeles Dodgers committed 6 errors during the 4 Game Series. All were committed in Game 2. 5 behind Sandy Koufax and 1 by Pitching reliever Ron Perranoski. It's really a shame this series didn't go 7 Games. Both teams were evenly matched and exciting to watch! I watched Game 2 when I got home from school and was sickened at how The Los Angeles Dodgers let down their Ace Sandy Koufax. Sandy Koufax was and will forever be my Major League Baseball idol!
Of course my Orioles were fantastic but really neat commercials as well.Very soothing anytime you hear Chuck Thompson.He was the best.If you watch the locker room report after they won the 70 series,Paul Blair thanks Chuck for his great work covering the O’s
The animated National Beer spots are cute, and are v/o'ed by Stan Moger. A bit of trivia-National Beer was the longtime sponsor of Orioles baseball; fittingly, the then owner of the Orioles, Jerry Hoffberger, was also involved with the National Brewing Company.
It was a common site back then to see crowds of 10,000 or so in just about every city. The Orioles, as good as they were, drew very small crowds routinely.
Umpires in white shirts and ties! Remember that the Orioles were the St. Louis Browns, the worst and losingest franchise in baseball history when they moved east in 1954. In 12 years, they had became one of the great teams in AL history--4 pennants in 6 years (66 to 71) and 2 WS titles.
These members of the 1966 Baltimore Orioles are no longer with us: Steve Barber, Curt Blefary, Dave McNally,Sam Bowens,the man who skippered the Orioles to that first world championship, Hank Bauer, Paul Blair ,reserve catcher Charley Lau, Moe Drabowsky,and the AL Triple Crown winner and MVP Frank Robinson.
The line drive hit by Frank Robinson, in the 6th Inning which is not shown in this video, was misplayed Willie Davis and Ron Fairly and was ruled a triple. Boog Powell singled Robinson home effectively ending Sandy Koufax's World Series Consecutive Scoreless Innings at 24!
My dad's favorite team. I still have a 66 Baltimore AL winning pennant on my wall. Boom the Birds!
Love you Dad!
Incredible- they were a machine. So many highlights! Orioles had the best record in the majors 1966-1983.
Actually, from 1960 through 1985. More than a quarter of a century of Oriole excellence.
As Earl Weaver would like to say pitching, defense and the 3 run homer
Go, Orioles, Go!
We’re not saying you should win them all,
Not at all,
Just win today!

So true
Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium are the only ones left that was shown here.

Fabulous clip! Thanks. It's rare to find one this old. I recall watching these games on TV. What an exciting time for Orioles fans and Baltimore.
I'm 66YRS. old I really like this Thanks
Chuck Thompson is a part of the legacy of brother in law Dennis Crowley's beloved Orioles team!
I love this!!
My dad is John Kennelly...
This is the oldest footage of his work on video I’ve ever seen!!
Thank you so much for posting!
Very cool!
You have to private message me how you came up with this classic video which I love to death!

This is badass
This is awesome! I think this video contains the only surviving broadcast footage of the ‘66 World Series. Oh why did networks wipe tape back then!?
It was thought not to have any sentimental value plus the tape was bulky and not an worthwhile investment
Great memories, my favorite Orioles team of all time
Wow . What an achievement to beat the powerful Dodgers with Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale.
Both Sam Bowens and Walt Bond had that rookie year in ‘64 that Joe Charbonneau had in 1980.
As a long time Os fan I have fond memories of this series. Dodgers had the big named pitchers but Orioles youngsters shut them down
I am a sports trivia nut. not much passes be by. But this nugget did. I'm damn glad I came across this. Thanks.
You're welcome...
I believe that is John Kennelly from WJZ as the co-host.....
It is
My dad!!
Man what a team, and it’s just the beginning
Boy look how empty baseball stadiums we're back in the 1960's.
It was a common site back then to see crowds of 10,000 or so in just about every city. The Orioles, as good as they were, drew very small crowds routinely.
With a few exceptions (NY, LA) they're kind of empty now...

Spiro t agnew was
In Baltimore then
I feel like bob Costas studied this guy

Yeah I hear Chuck Thompson...but that other guy sure sounds a lot like legendary YANKEE broadcaster, FRANK MESSER....🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The Orioles broadcast team in 1966 was Chuck Thompson, Bill O'Donnell and Frank Messer.
@markjohnson7488 He sounds a little like Curt Gowdy.
Aparecio to Belanger to Ripken. 40+ years of unbelievable shortstops. Has to be acknowledged. What's close? Dimaggio-Mantle? Williams-Yaz?
And know Gunner Henderson❤. Love my Os!!!
