Today In 1983: Baltimore #Orioles pitcher Tippy Martinez picks off three Toronto #BlueJays baserunners in one inning! #MLB #Baseball #History

Probably a record that won’t be broken.

As an Orioles fan I remember listening to this game on the radio.

Tippy had a helluva move to first base!

An amazing game that really catapulted the O’s from an AL East log jam (5 teams within 3 games of the top) to a pretty comfortable division win. Altobelli managed his ass off that night.

Bobby Cox looks so pissed at the end.

Sekata, the second baseman who was catching at the time, which caused all the big leads that made the pick-offs possible, homered to win the game at the bottom of the inning. Cal homered earlier to tie it, and it was his birthday.
