It’s been a brutal few years for Orioles fans. The team is on pace to lose 110 games this year after losing 108 in 2019 and 115 in 2018, the last two full MLB seasons.
The three-year stretch (excluding last year’s abbreviated season) comes close to another awful period of baseball straddling the franchise’s last year in St. Louis and first two seasons in Baltimore decades ago.
In 1953, the St. Louis Browns finished 54-100, a record they would match the next season in their first year in Baltimore as the renamed Orioles, although the team more than tripled its attendance from 297,000 to 1.
