When the Orioles won an early-season series in the Bronx last April, it was absolute fool's gold, mostly because it made a team that was destined for ignominy think for a weekend that the looming disaster wasn't coming.
This unforeseen series win over the New York Yankees on the season’s first weekend might be the same from a baseball standpoint.
But ask those involved what they learned about this team over three games in the Bronx after Sunday's win, and it wasn't platitudes about how they'd win the American League East or avoid the 100 losses many had penciled them in for.
