I love the Orioles. Strange thing, it happened because of the `70 Series when Brooks destroyed the Reds with his glove. The only team I love more, ironically, is the Reds (I’m a Cincy boy). 4 twenty game winners in 1970, Brooks’ glove on the hot corner, Frank slugging everything, Paul Blair running everything down in Center, Belanger up the middle and the Booger digging Brooks errant throws out of the dirt.

How they only won two World Series between 1966 and 1975 mystifies me.

You love the Orioles and the Reds?

How'd you feel about Lee May going to the Orioles?

Incidentally -- in 1969, 1970, and 1971 the Orioles won 109, 108, and 101 games. Yikes.

Cheers!

The 4 ‘twenty game winner’ season was 1971. Dobson, Mcnally, Cuellar and Palmer.
