John Olerud

.270, 26 home runs, and 102 runs batted in.

John O'Rourke's at first base.

He'll bat fifth, .293, 12 home runs, and 67 ribbies.

Mike Huff gets the start in center field.

Not a bad year.

But after last year, hitting a .293, 12 homers, 67 RBIs, he lines up base hit to right field.

Well, there's the first base run of the game, a clean line drive single by Olerud to right.

Olerud does not run, not run a lick like the others.

yes you do it's like you can actually use it use the helmet and the gigantic size of it to deflect the ball up in the air so that then you can catch it upon return it

reminded me old school reference of john olerud wearing the helmet at first base

New nickname, Lord Doc Helmet from Spaceballs.

That's what we're going to start calling him.

That is for sure.

I think John Olerud might have hit eight home runs in 1995 as the primary first baseman for this team, and I think that is the lowest home run total by a first baseman in the 50-year history of the franchise.

And if Vladi doesn't hit another one, he'll match that.

Yeah, it is...

At first, I was kind of surprised they let me go into the ninth, just because of who was coming up, and it was a two-to-one game.

Dave Parker, Dave Henderson, and Mark McGuire, a menacing trio, would face the rookie right-hander from Omaha.

I was trying to get out of the inning alive, basically.

The stretch, and the two-two pitch.

Even in slow motion, it looked fantastic.

That one play is worth the price of admission.

Once again, Mark McGuire stood between an Orioles rookie reliever and a dramatic save.

The rookie Mickey Weston trying to record a save in his major league debut.
