Whether you were alive and old enough to have any memories of the 1979 Orioles team that spawned “Orioles Magic” or not, the song that went along with it has probably sunk into your bones. What’s fun about Orioles Magic as a song and as a concept is that it is perfectly in tune with an essential aspect of any successful baseball team: You really do never know who is going to hear the call, and every game does have a different star.
Future events are beyond our knowledge, so there is no way to look ahead to the Orioles game later today and know whether any O’s player will deliver or which one will do it.
