The 1983 Baltimore Orioles won the Major League Baseball World Series after finishing first in the American League East with a record of 98 wins and 64 losses, The Orioles won the championship by beating the Philadelphia Philles, 4–1, in the 1983 World Series.[1] The season was the Orioles' first in nearly 15 years without manager Earl Weaver, who retired after the Orioles missed the playoffs in the final game of the 1982 season.[2] The Orioles replaced the future Hall of Famer[3] Weaver[4] with Joe Altobelli. The World Series victory was the Orioles' first championship since 1970 and their most recent to date.[5]

After many years the Orioles made the jump to cable television, with a separate broadcast team on their then first cable broadcaster, Super TV. They would move to Home Team Sports the following year.

An Overview of the Team

On April 3, 1983 the Baltimore Orioles left spring training with much the same team that fell just a game short of the playoffs the year before. Of the Orioles starting in the 1982 Opening Day lineup only Lenn Sakata and Al Bumbry would lose their opening day spots in 1983.[17] Terry Crowley was the last player cut during spring training, and on his way out of the clubhouse he predicted an Orioles championship, "The shame of it is," he told a ''Sun reporter, "the Orioles are going to win in it all this year, and Joe is going to do a tremendous job"[18] Still, the team was an up-and-coming squad, in fact, no Oriole would be voted on to the All Star team's starting lineup.[19] However, the team featured three future Hall of Famers:

  • Cal Ripken who had won Rookie of the Year honors the year before completed his transition from third base to shortstop playing his first full season at his new position[20]
  • Perennial All-Star Eddie Murray won a Silver Slugger Award and Gold Glove Award at first base[21]
  • The aging Jim Palmer started only 11 games but would come out of the bullpen for his final career victory in the World Series[22]
  • During an August 24, 1983 game, Orioles pitcher Tippy Martinez picked off three Toronto Blue Jays baserunners in one inning. The baserunners were Barry Bonnell, Dave Collins and Willie Upshaw.[23]

While the Orioles fielded a team similar to the team fielded in 1982 Altobelli put his own mark on the squad by breaking camp with a four-man rotation which occasionally increased to five pitchers rather than the three man rotation preferred by Weaver.[24]

Starting pitching

One significant difference between the 1982 Baltimore Orioles and the 1983 Baltimore Orioles was Altobelli's willingness to use different starting pitchers. Ten different, Orioles pitchers would take the mound to start a game in 1983 whereas in 1982 only six players got the starting nod.
