Rain suspended Wednesday’s game, but it was business as usual inside the bar, as plenty of you reminisced about the Orioles’ 1983 title season. More than 20 of those Orioles were at the stadium for the anniversary celebration yesterday. Most of the key ones were there, with the primary exceptions being Rich Dauer (family commitment) and John Lowenstein (previously scheduled vacation). At least that’s what I was told by someone who knew. Storm Davis and Tim Stoddard weren’t there, and neither was Sammy Stewart – we know his excuse. The guys that showed had a blast during the two pre-game news conferences. Eddie Murray was hamming it up pretty fiercely, riding Al Bumbry and Rick Dempsey for talking too much. Looked like a good time had by all. Today’s topic of debate was brought up earlier this week and seems appropriate for today. It might be a little close to yesterday’s topic, but I have faith you’ll find a way to answer differently (especially for those who chose Tippy Martinez’s pickoffs or Cal Ripken’s catch as their top 1983 moment). What do you think is the greatest Homer in Orioles history? Was it Tito Landrum’s blast to break up a scoreless tie in the 10th inning of the fourth game of the 1983 American League Championship Series? That’s got to be up there. But what about Frank Robinson’s “here” Homer in and out of Memorial Stadium? Or Cal’s Homer on the night he set the consecutive-games-played record? My guess is you guys ...

Jose Reyes's three-run Homer snapped a sixth-inning tie and the Mets, with closer Billy Wagner back, rebounded from a demoralizing defeat by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6–3 on last night. John Maine pitched seven effective innings and New York took advantage of a wild Brett Myers in his return from the minors to again tie the Phillies for first place in the NL East. The Mets had a great chance to take sole possession of the division lead in the series opener Tuesday night, but their... ...

George Brett says he's surprised that people still make a big deal out of his 1983 "pine tar" home run at Yankee Stadium. The Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer's ninth-inning blast was taken away after umpires ruled the pine tar on Brett's bat extended too far up the shaft. Brett erupted from the dugout in one of baseball's all-time tirades. The Royals protested the call, it was later overturned, and the two teams finished the game weeks later. The Royals won 5-4. Today marks the 25th anniversary of the incident, and Brett still can't believe that for all his years in baseball -- he won batting titles in three different decades -- the pine tar at-bat is the one fans know best. "I am so surprised that you play 20 years in the major leagues and you accomplish some things, and that's the one at-bat you're remembered for," Brett said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- George Brett says he's surprised that people still make a big deal out of his 1983 "pine tar" home run at Yankee Stadium. The Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer's ninth-inning blast was taken away after umpires ruled the pine tar on Brett's bat extended too far up the shaft. Brett erupted from the dugout in one of baseball's all-time tirades. The Royals protested the call, it was later overturned, and the two teams finished the game weeks later. The Royals won 5-4. Thursday marks the 25th anniversary of the incident, and Brett still can't believe that for all his years in baseball — he won batting titles in three different decades — the pine tar at-bat is the one fans know best. "I am so surprised that you play 20 years in the major leagues and you accomplish some things, and that's the one at-bat you're remembered for," Brett said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. The July 24, 1983, game has added significance because it was played at Yankee Stadium, which is closing after this season to make way for a new ballpark. If the Royals' protest had failed, and they had not subsequently won the game later, Brett's drive would have gone down in history as the only game-losing home run. "Only in New York. I think if it happens in Cleveland, it's not that big of a deal," Brett said. "I think if it happens someplace else that isn't New York, it's not that big of a deal." With the Royals trailing 4-3, Bret ...

The time was right for Tyler Branson to get the hit that could ice the game. With Abingdon’s ace pitcher Nick Andersen leaving the mound, Branson was looking to extend his team’s 4-1 lead into a solid cushion. Reliever Luke Tolley threw a curve ball that Branson just watched for a strike. The Oneida right-hander then guessed he was getting another curve, so he sat back and swung hard. He guessed correctly, and the ball went flying over the left field fence for a three-run Homer. Oneida Post 727 used the big Homer to eliminate Abingdon Post 381 from the 15th District American Legion Baseball Tournament 10-1 on Thursday. Oneida advanced to face Canton at 4 p.m. today. The Oneida batters worked the counts early and often on Andersen, who faced a bevy of full counts. Andersen struck out 11, but his pitch count went over 100 by the fifth inning. “He’s the type of kid who could probably be the best pitcher we’ve ever had if he’d just be a little more efficient,” Abingdon coach Joe Nichols said. “They knew we didn’t have much after Nick. Maybe Oneida going into the game was thinking we’ll get Nick’s pitch count up and we’ve got a chance.” The strategy paid off in the fourth with an RBI single by Trevor McCarthy and an RBI double by Branson. Alex Ott’s bloop single made it 3-1 in the sixth, and the momentum swung for good as Oneida kept scoring. “Early in the game, we tried to get bunts down and we didn’t execute them,” Clark said. “Once ...
