Our Favorite Things

StatMan and Robin is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYWith this introduction episode, we sit down and talk about some of our favorite things from our time following Baltimore sports.STATMAN AND ROBIN BACKGROUNDThe city of Baltimore has a rich sports history dating back to the “Hit ‘em where they ain’t” Orioles of the 1890’s. Since then, the Colts, Orioles, Ravens and nearby Maryland Terrapins have provided fans with thrilling victories and crushing defeats, and we’ve been there for them all going back to the 1966 World Series champion Orioles.We’ll bring you the stories of our teams through the years featuring not just the action on the field, but memories of the players, coaches, executives and the city itself. From the champs to the bad teams that make us appreciate the good ones even more, there are stories we want to share for posterity. We hope the younger fans learn, and older fans relive those memories and perhaps learn something they didn’t know.We’ll also occasionally add stories of some lesser-known Baltimore teams, in sports like indoor soccer, lacrosse, and even Canadian football. Also, don’t forget the Baltimore Bullets.We hope you will enjoy our bi-weekly shows as much as we will enjoy reliving these great times of our lives.HOSTS - JIM JOHNSON & ROBIN HAINESJim Johnson bio:I’m Jim Johson (aka StatMan), one of the co-hosts of Baltimore Sports History.
