Dempsey Dominates In World Series Playoff Push
Rick Dempsey steered the Baltimore Orioles with sharp defense and clutch hitting in the 1995 World Series. He collected five hits in 13 at bats for a .385 average, including a homer off Charles Hudson, as Baltimore seized momentum in South Philly. Eddie Murray added a first at bat homer as the Orioles put Phillies on notice. Dempsey, a veteran catcher, is praised for directing pitchers as much as his hitting.
