Object Details

Rog Morton, “The Man for the Bay Country,” picked a perfect year to use Maryland’s professional sports schedules in his campaign materials. That year, the Baltimore Orioles swept the World Series in four games to capture their first championship. In December, the Baltimore Colts lost the division lead to their archrivals, the Green Bay Packers, on a play dubbed “the Million Dollar Fumble.” But when Morton issued this list of games in late summer, the season was looking bright for the Colts, and their heartbreaker finish was still months in the future.
