Orioles Favored In World Series Rematch With Mets
The Orioles enter the 1969 World Series as favorites over the Mets after a 109 win season and 2.83 ERA pitching, with Frank Robinson and Boog Powell delivering power. Managers and players expect a tight series limited to five or six games, as New York seeks to spoil Baltimore’s bid for a title. The schedule calls for Games 1-3 at Shea, with potential games 4 and 5, and a return to Baltimore for games 6 and 7 if needed, while prize money for losers sits at 10 000 dollars and 15 000 dollars for winners.
