Title Town-Baltimore, MD-1970 (Paperback)

Title Town Baltimore-MD-1970 is about the Baltimore Sports scene in 1970. It starts with the Baltimore Orioles' season in April, 1970. They lost to the "Miracle Mets" in the 1969 World Series and how they refocused to win the World Series in 1970 against Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine" in October. Also, in pro football in 1970, the book discusses the merger between the AFL and NFL and the move of the Baltimore Colts into a newly-formed AFC Conference in 1970. It also follows the Baltimore Colts' season with quarterback Johnny Unitas and linebacker Mike Curtis until January 1971 when the Colts defeated Dallas in Super Bowl V. Also, there are chapters about college football in the Baltimore area. The last chapter is about the Baltimore Bullets' miracle run to NBA finals to play the Lew Alcindor and the Milwaukee Bucks. Baltimore came that close to having a trifecta of championships for major league baseball, NFL, and NBA. The book is complete with statistics of the teams and detailed stats of leagues they competed in.
