From 1966-1983, the Oriole way was the blueprint that every baseball team wanted to follow. The reason was during that time period, the Orioles led by manager Earl Weaver (until the end of the 1982 season), won 3 World Series Championships; 5 American League Pennants; had a strong lineup and pitching rotation-led by 3 time Cy Young Award Winner Jim Palmer; and was a staple on the NBC Game of the Week almost every Saturday Afternoon. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Cal Ripken, Jr. and Eddie Murray led the Orioles to a number of winning seasons and in the middle of the decade, the club, now led by Davey Johnson, with star players Ripken and Roberto Alomar went to the playoffs two straight years (1996 and 1997), but lost in the American League Championship Series (to the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians, respectively.)

However, that was the last time Baltimore has seen the playoffs because it has been one long draught. It's kind of tough to win in a division where you must compete with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox (recently the Tampa Bay Rays were able to figure that out); have an owner who is concerned in handling out fat contracts to players who are way past their prime; lose players every year to free agency and the farm system is not the same anymore. Some people have blamed Owner Peter Angelos for not fielding a consistent productive and competitive team. They have argued that this not the Oriole Way, a style of play that Earl Weaver used during the team's successful years. So far in 2011, with Buck Showalter, after a great start, the Orioles are in 3rd place in the American League East with a 13-14. Yes, it's tough to compete with the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays and Blue Jays, but Baltimore must find a way to hold their own against they division rivals and compete for a postseason spot in October.


Baseball fans under the age of 25 would not believe you if you said told them that the Kansas City Royals were once a really good team. Yes, from 1976-1986, the Royals won a World Series championship, 2 American League Pennants, and 5 American League West Division titles. The Royals had great players during that run, such as George Brett, Frank White, Willie Wilson, Larry Gura, Bret Saberhagen, Hal McRae, Amos Otis, John Mayberry, John Wathan, U.L. Washington, Dan Quisenberry, Mark Gubicza, and Danny Jackson.
