Good morning, Camden Chatters.
As we wait impatiently for the 2021 Orioles season to begin, now’s as good a time as any to reminisce about some great games of Orioles past. Specifically, great games by individual Orioles hitters.
MLB.com’s Joe Trezza offered his ranking of the Birds’ five best single-game performances by a hitter. His list is pretty strong. There’s Cal Ripken Jr.’s six-hit explosion in Atlanta in 1999. Eddie Murray’s three-homer, nine-RBI slugfest in 1985 in which he just missed a fourth roundtripper. Chris Hoiles’ two-grand slam game in Cleveland in 1998.
