The Orioles' 1983 postseason run was marked by great performances, from the gems pitched by Mike Boddicker and Scott McGregor to Rick Dempsey's clutch hitting to Eddie Murray silencing his critics with two homers in the World Series finale. But the defining moment of the postseason, the instant in which the Orioles went from playoff team to guaranteed champions, came in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series and was delivered by a guy named Tito. Terry Lee "Tito" Landrum was a 28-year-old outfielder who had been with the Orioles for little more than a month and had only three major league homers before stepping in against Chicago White Sox left-hander Britt Burns in the 10th inning of a scoreless tie. His no-doubt-about-it solo homer ignited the Orioles' three-run rally, clinched a World Series berth and gave the Orioles the feeling they couldn't be beat.

The one-line bio on Wikipedia reads as such: "Terry Lee Landrum is a former professional baseball player who played in the major leagues primarily as an outfielder from 1980-1988." Another line should be added: He never had to buy a drink or dinner in Baltimore after Oct. 8, 1983. Or maybe this: No Baltimore sports fan over the age of 30 can hear the name "Tito Landrum" without smiling. Tonight the Orioles are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their 1983 world championship team - their last drink of title-sweet champagne.

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Jim Leyland -- who watched John Smiley get traded and Bill Landrum get released -- confronted his bosses because he felt they were making moves without his input.It especially hurt when Smiley -- a popular 20-game winner -- was dealt Tuesday to the Minnesota Twins."It hurt me that I wasn't involved, but that's the way it is," said Leyland, who met Friday with general manager Ted Simmons and Mark Sauer, the team president.Simmons wouldn't comment on the meeting, saying it was a private matter.

CHICAGO -- All Orioles manager Johnny Oates needed yesterday was a few words of encouragement from Harold Baines to write the veteran designated hitter's name in the lineup. Originally, Baines, who sat out Friday night's game, was scheduled to get the day off to rest his left knee.But after reaching base five straight times (three hits, two walks) in Saturday night's 9-6 win over the Chicago White Sox, Baines said he was ready to play yesterday. "He said he felt great," said Oates, who plans to give Baines at least one day off during the three-game series in Kansas City.
