What can I say, this Baseball Addict became an (OH MY GOSH!) an Orioles fan. I had to have my baseball fix and the Orioles were the closest team. This was the PRE-Angelos era.
There's nothing wrong with being a Orioles fan. Over the years, the O's have had some great players who were a joy to watch. Ripkin, Belanger, Robinson, Grich, Blair, Murray, Jackson, Singleton, Palmeiro, Anderson, Alomar and Tejada weren't and aren't too bad, plus they had a few decent pitchers that were often worth the price of admission by themselves. Guys like Palmer, Cuellar, McNally, Flannagan and Mike Mussina, plus who didn't love watching Earl Weaver go one-on-one with an umpire, we there any manager better at it?
The only thing wrong with the Orioles, is who they have sitting in the owner,s box.
