AI notes: The Baltimore Orioles captured the 1983 World Series title by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in a four-game sweep, marking the Orioles’ third World Series championship in franchise history. Under manager Joe Altobelli, the Orioles relied on a combination of strong pitching and timely hitting. Mike Boddicker, Scott McGregor, and closer Tippy Martinez anchored the pitching staff, while Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr., and Ken Singleton led the offense. The Orioles dominated the series, winning each game by at least three runs, including a decisive 5–0 shutout in Game 4 at Memorial Stadium on October 16, 1983. Murray’s performance, including a .318 batting average with timely RBIs, helped secure Baltimore’s first World Series title since 1970.
