A steady rain postponed the Milwaukee Brewers-Baltimore Orioles game at County Stadium, but it didn't stop Rick Dempsey and Sammy Stewart from reenacting the final game of the Orioles' 1982 season against the Brewers.
Dempsey has developed a reputation for his slides on rain-soaked tarpaulins. This performance, however, differed from any before.
"I needed some new material," Dempsey said. "I got tired of the same old stuff."
About 45 minutes after the game was to have started, Dempsey ran onto the tarp and slid across the infield. Then he grabbed a bat and beckoned for a pitcher. Stewart, wearing Jim Palmer's jersey and a pair of tan underwear over his uniform pants, came out to the mound.
