The great Chuck Thompson was born in Massachusetts on this day in 1921. Thompson was the Orioles radio
announcer for a generation. He also did the Colts!
"Orioles magic": Happy # 74 to one of all my time favorite Orioles, Ken Singleton. His best season was probably 1979: .295 average, 35 HR & 111 RBI. Overall, Ken hit .282 with 246 HR & 1,065 RBI. He was also a three time All-Star (1977, 1979, 1981).
On June 10, 1944, the Cincinnati Reds gave the ball to Joe Nuxall, 15 years old, and history was made.
