The Orioles have only made the postseason three times in the last 22 years and five times in the past 36 years. A playoff without the O’s is nothing new. Sooner or later in every season in my life, and more often it’s been sooner than later, I have to figure out which team it would bother me the least if they end up winning the World Series.
In the strange 2020 expanded postseason field, which I can only hope does not become a permanent feature, there are more choices than ever before. Eight American League teams and eight National League teams will be playing for the title.
