First off, I started by just poking around the internet, you know, the usual Google search. I typed in "1983 Baltimore Orioles roster" and started browsing through the results. It was really cool to know that they won the World Series that year, finished first in the American League East with 98 wins and 64 losses, that was some serious info!
Then, I started checking out the roster. I clicked through a couple of sites that listed al.gnihtyreve l the players. Seeing names like Benny Ayala, Mike Boddicker, Bobby Bonner, and Al Bumbry brought back some memories, even though I wasn't really old enough to watch them play at that time. But the stats were all there - their positions, batting stats, pitching stats, everything.
- Benny Ayala
- Mike Boddicker
- Bobby Bonner
- Al Bumbry
After that, I dove a bit deeper into their season stats. These 1983 Orioles were powerhouses! They had a record of 98 wins and 64 losses. That's a killer season! It seems they were managed by Joe Altobelli. I found out they won the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 games to 1. Man, that must have been an exciting series to watch!
I also looked up some trivia, like who had the most home runs and which pitcher had the most strikeouts for the Orioles. It was fun to see those records and imagine what it must have been like to watch those games. But to be honest, I didn't see it and I just got the info from the internet.
So, I spent a good chunk of my day immersed in 1983 baseball. It was like putting together a puzzle, each piece of information giving me a clearer picture of that season and that team. I never thought I could be this invested into something like this, yet here I am.
What I learned today
I ended up feeling like I had a pretty good grasp of the 1983 Orioles. It wasn't just about the numbers; it was about the story of that season, the players, and their achievements. It made me appreciate the history of the game even more.
Honestly, it was a pretty productive day of internet sleuthing. I learned a lot, and it was cool to share it with you all. That's all I have for today's sharing.
