1966  ..  Orioles-Dodgers World Series-

(Reader comments)
 Anonymous said...

I was a patient in Peninsula General Hospital just prior to the 1966 World Series. At that time almost all patients were two to a room and my roommate loved to talk baseball. Every day he insisted the Orioles were toast because of the great pitching staff or the Dodgers.

"They've got Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Claude Osteen. What do the Orioles have?"

Over and over, all I remember is, "Koufax, Drysdale and Osteen. Koufax, Drysdale and Osteen."

BTW, Mayor Dawson Clarke had box seats for Game 5, scheduled for Sunday in Baltimore. He obviously never got to use them.

 Anonymous said...

In 1966 box seats in Memorial Stadium went for $3.00. Upper reserved were $2.50 and the bleachers in right and left field were 75 cents!
