...Those guys who make the odds never played baseball," grunted Baltimore Manager Hank Bauer. "Our own pitching isn't so bad either." Oh, no? The Orioles' best pitcher, Steve Barber, spent most of the season on the disabled list with a sore arm and was ineligible for the series. Their top winner, Jim Palmer (record: 15-10), gave up so many home runs (20) that his teammates nicknamed him "Boom-Boom." Baltimore's starters managed to complete only 23 games all season-four fewer than Koufax alone. That provided a lot of work for the Birds...
...week. The New York Yankees clinched last place in the American League for the first time in 54 years. And the Chicago Cubs, managed by Leo Durocher, wound up in the National League cellar-thereby proving that it is not necessarily the nice guy who finishes last. Manager Hank Bauer of the American League champion Baltimore Orioles disproved another notion: that pay is related to performance. Bauer, who gave Baltimore its first pennant in 69 years, signed a new two-year contract for an estimated $50,000 a year-$25,000 less than the last-place Yanks pay their manager...

Curfews are lenient, and bed checks are rare. The Orioles obviously are enjoying their new freedom. Outfielder Powell, who batted only .248 last year, was up to .299 last week. Curt Blefary has twelve homers, and Centerfielder Russ Snyder is batting .337. Rightfielder Robinson ranks No. 1 in the American League in homers (22) and runs scored (68), fourth in batting (.312). Third Baseman...
Biggest Bulls. Baltimore's only apparent weakness is its front-line pitching: in 90 tries so far, Orioles starters have managed to complete a mere 15 games. That does not alarm Manager Bauer. "All I want is six or seven good innings-and then I'll bring in the relievers," he says. "What the hell, I've got the best bullpen in the business...
