The Pirates ' pitching staff 's amazing comeback beginning with the third game, as they outdid Baltimore's four twen­ ty-game winners, was one of t h e e p i c t u r n a r o u n d s i n Series history. Baltimore's hit t ing faded after the first two victories a n d t h e h u r l i n g o f B l a s s , Briles and Kison were re­ sponsible. In fact, Blass was so good some feel he should have won the most outstanding player award from an auto manufacturer. He won two games, the first t o t u r n P i t t s b u r g h a r o u n d and the finale. The car went to Roberto Clemente, admittedly great and deserving; i t 's just too bad two weren't awarded. For sheer drama, the last tqvogames of the 1971 cham­ pionship were unusually pro­ ductive . The way Baltimore finally came from a 0-2 deficit and won the sixth game in the 10th inning was one of the spine-tinglers of baseball history. But that day in Bal­ timore--for one of thf great games of baseball-there were several thousand empty seats. And more than one sports writer concluded then that maybe Pittsburgh fans deserved to win. Earl Weaver, who managed when the O's collapsed to the Mets, ,didn't do his play­ ers any iood with the com­ ment to %ie press that his team was tne best in the his­ tory of baseball . Many also think he should have come back with McNally in the fourth game. Danny Murtaugh won though never calling on his first-game starter, Dock Ellis, again during the Se­ ries. Also unusual was the fact that highly touted Bal­ timore committed far more errors than the Pirates. I t 's hard to escape the conclusion that the hungrier team beat Baltimore's four twenty-game winners with desire. What a challenge it is to defeat a team called by their manager the best in the history of baseball , a team which doesn't have enough support to fi l l i ts stadium in World Series play! Obviously, the Pirates and Pirate fans cared more, and for that reason i t 's poetic justice that they won. Bal­ timore players might remem­ ber their defeat a long time, the hitters who didn't hit .

C.--One of the Baltimore Orioles was talking to a reporter during the recent grand finale of 1971 Major League baseball and remarked that the Orioles pulled together as a team. He noted that Boston and Detroit also had many tal­ ented ballplayers but there wasn't as much togetherness on those teams. What he said was true. Al­ though the Orioles have un­ questionably been the best team in recent years f t in the tough, eastern division of the American League there were four good teams this year. Boston challenged in the first part of the season and Detroit made a gallant but too late bid in Septem­ ber. Both teams, however, were affected by dissention. The Red Sox had far too much. Detroit 's prima dona was Willie Horton and one suspects the Tigers will get r i d o f h i m t h i s w i n t e r . I f manager Billy Martin comes up with more pitching and less Horton, the Tigers could join Baltimore's together­ ness act. possibly win the flag, in 1972. It will be in­ teresting to see if Eddie Kasko also trades the pop- offs on his club. At the end of the season, Hal Middlesworth, top pub­ lic relations man with De­ troit , suggests the Tigers were playing as well as Baltimore. And they won five straight from the O's in the last two series-the two last games of a three-game set and the first three of the final four meetings between the clubs. M a r t i n h a d p e r f o r m e d a small miracle; he began the season with only one sound pitcher--Mickey Lolich. "Liberty means responsibility.
