Tuesday Bird Droppings: Remembering the Curse of the Andino

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

It’s September 28th. Exactly 10 years ago tonight, the Orioles played what was, at that point, their most pivotal game in a dozen years. And the sheer craziness that transpired that evening altered the course of baseball history — and may well have sparked the Birds’ renaissance of the next half-decade.

Unless you just recently became an O’s fan, you surely remember that glorious night, dubbed The Curse of the Andino, in which the Birds pulled off a stunning, ninth-inning comeback that — combined with the other dramatic finishes in MLB that night — eliminated the Boston Red Sox from playoff contention on the season’s final day and completed their unprecedented September collapse.
