It was a great book.

I really enjoyed reading Mr. Patterson's book. Being a young Oriole's fan, it shared with me the glory of the past days in Baltimore as well as the downfalls. The one thing that bothered me about the book was the pictures. The majority of them were autographed and that took away from their point in my opinion. Also, the captions on the pictures usually told about things that would happen a few pages ahead. This would tell you prematurly about what was going to happen.

Never Forget Your Roots - A 33rd Street Memory

The memories of watching Orioles games on TV and in old Memorial Stadium came back to life as I read this book. Those long time Orioles fans can re-live great games of the past as they spend a moment, trying to forget that our old friend on 33rd Street will be torn down next year. Rich in history and documentation. Camden Yards is a great place, but you should never forget where you came from. Thank you, Memorial Stadium. I will miss you...

Relive the truly great years . . . .

I love this book. Stories of the team back in the day when they truly played as one unit and captured the hearts of the city that supported them. I grew up in Baltimore and now live on the west coast, and you have no idea how great it was to grow up with the Orioles (and the Colts), in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, until you view it from another city and a different time. The O's represented all that was good about baseball and the story of the personality of the team is well told.

Superb! The ultimate Orioles book.

This is one of those books you will pull from the shelf again and again. Forward by the ultimate third baseman, Brooks Robinson. Ted Patterson is not only a fan but covered the team, and knows just what O's fans want to know. Great photos of the players, the parks, and the action, as well as memorabilia the author has collected over the years!
