Saturday Bird Droppings: Happy Delmon Day!

It’s a holiday around these parts of the internet. Six years ago today, the Orioles beat the Tigers 7-6 in Game 2 of the ALDS thanks, in large part, to Delmon Young, whose pinch-hit double with the bases loaded put the good guys ahead, and they never looked back.
It may seem silly to other fanbases that we get so excited about a non-clinching Division Series win. But those of us that witnessed it —regardless of whether you were in attendance at Camden Yards or not— understand just how special it was.
