As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Orioles have been counting down the top 25 games played in the stadium’s history. The latest, which aired on Sunday, was the fifth on the countdown: Robert Andino and friends wrecking the 2011 Red Sox season in the last game of the season on a wild night across baseball.
I’m not writing anything new when I say that this game was the prologue to all of the winning that has come since. Not that we had any way of knowing it at the time, but it’s served as the springboard from which the team was able to launch itself back towards the top of the American League.
