Under the law, police can arrest anyone standing in sight...
...almost even-11-10 on Cincinnati. As it turned out, the Orioles should have been clear off the board. Determined to avenge last year's shattering Series defeat by the New York Mets, the Oriole pitchers stalled the vaunted Big Red Machine while their hitters reduced it to scrap.
