  1. Gus Triandos: Baltimore's first sports hero

    The year was 1959. I was 12 and shy to a fault. But an almost close encounter with my baseball hero, Gus Triandos, would change my life forever.
    The year was 1959. I was 12 and shy to a fault. But an almost close encounter with my baseball hero, Gus Triandos, would change my life forever. Big Gus exploded onto the Baltimore baseball landscape, and into the lives of countless youngsters like me,...

  3. Is Rivera the best closer of all time?

    <b>Forever a cut above</b>
    Forever a cut above Phil Rogers Chicago Tribune Let's be honest. Luis Gonzalez didn't exactly smoke his single off Mariano Rivera in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. He fought off a cutter and fisted it just out of Derek Jeter's reach. But that's the...

  4. Orioles finally get a crack at their long-time tormenters from New York

    Against anyone else, it would have seemed preposterous when the 12-year-old boy's hand reached into the field of play to change the course of the Orioles' 1996 playoff run.
    The Baltimore Sun
    Against anyone else, it would have seemed preposterous when the 12-year-old boy's hand reached into the field of play to change the course of the Orioles' 1996 playoff run. Against the New York Yankees? Jeffrey Maier was just another chapter in a long...

  5. The Sun Remembers: Sept. 16-22

    <strong>Sept. 18, 2005:</strong> The Ravens rush for 14 total yards &mdash; a franchise low &mdash; and quarterback Anthony Wright is sacked six times in Baltimore's 25-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. "There's no explaining it," coach Brian Billick says of his 0-2 team's inept play. "We will find the answers within ourselves."

  6. The Orioles -- and Baltimore -- reawaken

    It thoroughly confounds the pundits that the Baltimore Orioles, separated by 15 years from their last winning season, and with a roster dominated by the young and unknown, would host the New York Yankees in a September series with first place on the line. But anyone who knows history and baseball understands that, in certain times &mdash; when the stars align in favor of those determined to extract every shred of excellence from themselves; when the parts of a group undergo the chemical bonding that produces the sum of a team; and when accountability breeds the confidence to do great things &mdash; the improbable can become the possible. In fact, it happened very much like that 52 years ago.

  7. Recollections of a 'Midsummer Classic' 50 years later

    It's Major League All-Star Week, so I thought I would take the opportunity to reminisce about the only&nbsp;All-Star Game&nbsp;I personally attended. It occurred 50 years ago this week on July 10, 1962, at what was then known as D.C. Stadium in Washington.

    <strong>May 30, 1982:</strong> In an inauspicious start to a historic streak, 21-year-old <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/ripken/">Cal Ripken Jr.</a> bats eighth and goes hitless in the Orioles' 6-0 loss to the last-place Toronto Blue Jays.
