Happy b'day Pat Dobson, born #OTD in 1942 and one of four '71 #Orioles 20-game winners. "He was a free spirit and I enjoyed having him," Earl Weaver said after his 2006 passing. "He was a pleasure to have on the team. He caused a lot of laughs and he kept his teammates laughing." pic.twitter.com/CAblrVwAR7

"He had a great year for us," #Orioles manager Earl Weaver said later of Pat Dobson in 1971. "When he started throwing that curveball for a strike, it was all over. He could throw the curveball at any time in the count. He made his life baseball and enjoyed every minute of it." pic.twitter.com/HGjmgyWVF4

Last week #Orioles sent Tom Phoebus (5-5 in '70), to the #Padres for Pat Dobson, 28, (14-15, 3.76 ERA, 251 IP in '70). "I'd say right now he will get between 35-40 starts, I know that sounds like a lot, but Phoebus and Jim Hardin had 41 between them last year," says Earl Weaver. pic.twitter.com/YlmvtilDhE
