Recall a few weeks ago I noted a discussion with fellow Orioles’ fan Pat Guy where I asked him “What has happened to Orioles Magic? Where did it go?” At the time Pat and I had that conversation, the Orioles were the only team in MLB that had not had any walk off wins this season.
Well, ever since that conversation with the Guy Boy, I am proud to report that the O’s have had three walk off wins with two consecutive ones coming over the Dodgers just this weekend. Friday night’s featured a home run from rookie catcher Samuel Basallo and last night’s was a two out rally that broke up a would be no hitter against them. Talk about magic!
In a very long and extremely disappointing season, it is nice to know that the Magic has not entirely left them. Cue the music:
To make last night’s come back win even more special, it was the 30th anniversary of Cal breaking Gehrig’s record. That video too is worth another look see:
