It was 28 years ago today

The Baltimore Orioles last won a World Series back in 1983.
One of the biggest games of that season occured August 24, when they beat Toronto in a memorable 10th inning.
Reliever Tippy Martinez picked off three runners, then Lenn Sakata - pressed into service as catcher in the top of the 10th - hit a three-run homer to win the contest.
The Orioles may win again, but it's doubtful a pitcher will get all three outs with pickoffs in an inning.
