Baltimore Orioles: Looking Back on the 1988 Losing Streak

For Baltimore Orioles fans, all we have to do is look back at the 1988 season, that began with 21 consecutive losses. In fact, if we were replaying the 1988 season, April 29 would have marked the team’s first win of the season.

Then, on April 30, the team lost again.

In 1988, Opening Day was on April 4. That season, the Orioles had a two-game series at home against the Milwaukee Brewers. Opening Day was a precursor of what was to come as the O’s lost 12-0 against the Brew Crew. Sadly, that wasn’t the only blow out in the first week of season.
