He did catch that game, but reliever Pete Richert made the play on the bunt (at least according to this write-up. The first series I have any memories of was O's/Pirates in '71.)

He was involved in a controversial play at the plate in the 1970 series.

there you go.

I barely remember the 83 WS (I was 3 at the time) but my Dad had already taken a liking to Cal Ripken and it really rubbed off on me....

Thanks.

Yes,IIRC in that 1970 game, the umpire was actually facing AWAY from the play, sitting on the ground, but still called the runner out.
