My apologies, you knew best! The Baltimore Orioles ... what a frustrating thing that must have been in the early 70s ... nobody won more regular season games than your club ... "mark 'em down for 100 wins" How disappointing was the World Series performance ... man I remember.

Yeah. Crushing pennant wins, one out of three in the Series. Stunning upsets by the Mets and Pirates, the latter coming back from an 0-2 start. Worse, they did it to us again in the late 70s.

But at least we beat the Big Red (Cincy) Machine in a year they looked like they had it all going.
