- Earning a ring. Oct. 16, 1983. In 1979, the Orioles fell one win short of a championship. In ’82, they missed the postseason by one game. By ’83, they were hungry and talented, led by in-their-primes Murray and Cal Ripken Jr.The result was perhaps Murray’s best individual season and his only championship, as the Orioles beat the Phillies in five games for the ’83 crown.
