So the Orioles are 5-0 this season. They were 5-0 in 1970, too, when they won the World Series. Point being, this season is basically over.
OK, so that's a little much. But five wins in five games is as impressive as Joey Rickard's mere existence. Just 10 teams since 2002 have managed it, according to Baseball-Reference.com. Their success is varied: One won a World Series (like, last season), others lost in the playoffs, and one became one of the worst teams in baseball (also last season).
