Bob Irsay’s awful press conference 1/20/84
I remember watching this on TV as it happened. I assume Irsay was drunk. He keeps shouting at someone out of view that he won’t talk to him. Of course, he did move the Colts soon after this so his talk was crap. It’s on the disc of the 30 for 30 on the Baltimore Colts Marching Band.

I was reminded of Abe Sherman by a post about him

I remember Record Theater from the 1980s. I bought a CD player in 1984 and it was very hard to find CDs. As I recall, even a big store like Record Theater would have only about 50 different discs. There were no CD manufacturing plants in the US then. My copy of Born in the USA is made in Japan.

I had a party on one of the hottest days in Baltimore history
August 20, 1983 was the second hottest day in recorded Baltimore history when I had my party. I lived in an air-conditioned third-floor apartment. I turned the temperature down as much as possible but it was still in the 80s. Fortunately, I served cold food (6 foot sub).
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992.
My collage which includes newspaper photos and a ticket and program from the exhibition game held before the stadium opened for the regular season.
