On Sunday, May 30, 1982, there were 21,632 fans in attendance at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium to see the Orioles lose, 6-0, to the Toronto Blue Jays. They didn't know it, but the fans were witnessing something special.
It was the first career victory for then-Toronto pitcher Jim Gott.
Oh, and it also was the first game of Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2,632 consecutive games streak.
It would take 13 years before the right-hander realized the greater significance of the day.
