Good morning, Camden Chatters.
It’s September 28th. Exactly 10 years ago tonight, the Orioles played what was, at that point, their most pivotal game in a dozen years. And the sheer craziness that transpired that evening altered the course of baseball history — and may well have sparked the Birds’ renaissance of the next half-decade.
Unless you just recently became an O’s fan, you surely remember that glorious night, dubbed The Curse of the Andino, in which the Birds pulled off a stunning, ninth-inning comeback that — combined with the other dramatic finishes in MLB that night — eliminated the Boston Red Sox from playoff contention on the season’s final day and completed their unprecedented September collapse.
