History In Motion: Al Bumbry And A Bronze Star

Perseverance is a word that Orioles fans are all too familiar with, especially as they sit now, twiddling their thumbs, looking at a losing record and becoming increasingly worried at the familiar dark cloud that hovers ever so closely. Orioles fans have persevered through the dark years, years of coming up short, late inning breakdowns (that can last all season), post All-Star break breakdowns, you name it and O’s fans have found a way to cope with it. I’ve always wondered where it came from. Was it the losing or, maybe, it came from the players? Like, in weird baseball nature vs nurture argument.
