| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to Sports Spectrum. I am Jason Romano and today's show is a fun one for me as a kid who grew up watching baseball in the 80s. I think I remember 1981 might be my earliest year. I remember watching baseball. I think that was the Dodgers and the Yankees in the World Series that year. The next year in 1982 was the year that our guest today debuted in the major. Storm Davis, |
| 0:24.5 | two-time World Series champion, former Major League Baseball pitcher at the age of 20, debuted with the |
| 0:30.1 | Baltimore Orioles in 1982. He won a World Series with Baltimore in 83. It's the 40th anniversary |
| 0:37.1 | of the Baltimore Orioles World Series |
| 0:39.3 | Championship team. And they got a pretty good team this year, too. A lot of young talent, |
| 0:44.3 | a great minor league system. And, you know, the time is right now, I think, to get excited if you're |

| 1:16.3 | San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's, and the A's ended up sweeping the Giants. |
| 1:20.3 | And Storm Davis got a second World Series ring, pitched for a few more years, even |
| 1:24.3 | returning to Baltimore and back to Oakland before retiring in 1994 after the 94 |
| 1:30.2 | season with the Detroit Tigers. And now he's been coaching on every level, professional, |
| 1:35.2 | amateur, and currently coaching Trinity Christian Academy High School in Jacksonville, Florida. |
| 1:42.3 | I loved this conversation. Storm Davis is a lot of fun. |
