1979 World Series Tickets - Game 6

This is a bitter sweet piece of Orioles memorabilia for obvious reasons. Sweet because they’re two really nice World Series tickets from a year the Orioles won a whopping 102 games. 

Extremely bitter because, for the second time in a decade Baltimore lost the Series in 7 games to Pittsburg. The Orioles had a 3 games to 1 lead but could not close it out. 

Much like the 70’ Series turned into the Books Robinson show, the 79’ Series was all about Willie Stargell. He dominated, batting .400 with 12 hits, 4 doubles and 3 home runs and was named the series MVP.
