Episode description

The Baltimore Orioles won the 1970 World Series, but the 1971 campaign would match a pitching record that stands to this day. The four starting pitchers Pat Dobson (20-8), Dave McNally (21–5), Mike Cuellar (20–9), and Jim Palmer (20–10) all posted 20 or more wins. The only other team in the history of the majors to have four pitchers on 20-plus wins in a season are the 1920 White Sox.

We join the Orioles for the second game in a double-header with the California Angels. The teams would meet throughout the year, eventually contesting the ALCS. As Pat Dobson takes to the mound, the Orioles are 4-1 against the Angels for the season
