Wooohooo!
They clinched it tonight! The
last time the Baltimore Orioles, my favorite team going back to when I was
eight years old, won the Division title was 1997. And in the intervening years there were 14
consecutive losing seasons, and a good portion of them in last place. Fourteen years is a quarter of my life. You don’t know the blood, sweat, and tears I’ve
shed for my Orioles.
But tonight they did it!!!!! American League Eastern Division Champions! Here's a great little video of some of the season's highlights.
And they did it with still two weeks to go until the
playoffs. I can’t wait. The rest of these games aren’t going to be
meaningful. Just give the starters rest
while keeping them sharp. If I didn’t
have to go to work tomorrow I would be popping a bottle of Champagne myself!
