The Bowie Baysox winning their league championship on Saturday night is something to celebrate for an organization that is clearly going nowhere at the major league level this season. The players and coaches who have spent the year at Bowie - and players who began the year with Bowie but since advanced to Norfolk or even the big league club - are all deserving of congratulations for the accomplishment.
The last time the Orioles Double-A affiliate won its league's title, the year was 1984 and the affiliate was Charlotte. It's been a while. There's no doubt this year's incarnation of the Baysox deserved the title with the way they played in the regular season and in the playoffs.
