Unfortunately, Hashtag Sad is getting to be a regular thing here.
Today's subject is the Baltimore Orioles.
The team ended a 19 game losing streak Wednesday night. The streak is the third longest in modern major league history.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards set the gold standard for contemporary baseball stadium construction. It's a great place to explore, even when the team is out of town.
The Orioles used to be among Major League Baseball's elite. Jim Palmer, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Boog Powell, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Ken Singleton, Paul Blair, Dave McNally...
Now, the franchise is a joke.
Baltimore deserves better.
Baseball deserves better.
