Long before he became mayor of Baltimore, Brandon Scott was just another long-suffering Orioles fan who experienced plenty of gloomy nights at Camden Yards with “no one to my left and right.”
Scott, 37, said he would trade both Ravens Super Bowl victories for the World Series title he’s waited a lifetime to witness. Like so many of his compatriots in orange and black, he did his best to nurture hope during the recent 19-game losing streak that confirmed the Orioles as the sorriest team in baseball.
“The streak would just set the Orioles up, just like the city, to be the greatest turnaround story in Major League Baseball history,” he said.
