The 1979 season was my favorite Baltimore Orioles season since I moved here in 1976. I saw 45 games including two ALCS games and four World Series games.
I remember this game well. The White Sox had a rookie pitcher working in the 12th inning. The Orioles had a runner on first base as well as Murray on third. The runner on first distracted the pitcher and Murray stole home. It was great.
The 5/30/25 game was similar in many ways:
The Orioles beat the White Sox 2-1
The winning run was scored on a steal of home by the first baseman
Sad!
