Weatherman Holds World Series Fate Amid Mets Orioles Rain Talk
New York Mets send Gary Gentry against Jim Palmer in a rain-threatened third World Series game at Shea Stadium.

Orioles manager Earl Weaver sticks with Palmer and adjusts lineup. A sellout crowd over 58,000 anticipated as teams prepare for games three to five in New York, with sixth and seventh possible in Baltimore.
