World Series - 1983 Baltimore Orioles v Philadelphia Phillies


Spiral bound folder provided by the Baltimore Post Office. The above postmarks were mechanical printed, rather than being provided as a hand-stamp to facilitate large production





1983 World Series.. The Baltimore Orioles defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 4 games to 1
Rick Dempsey was voted Series MVP

This was Cal Ripken Jr's only World Series appearance

The Post Office offered machine printed versions of the postmarks with the game information inserted into the boxes. The actual postmarks applied at the time of the game being played have the boxes empty to allow the fans to fill in the information
