Baltimore Orioles: 7th ALCS appearance
1902 1903 1904 1907 1915 1917 1919
“Back, back, back, back… GONE!”
Chris Berman voice:
The Baltimore Orioles, the Birds of Prey, flap their wings and fly their way into history! For the seventh time—count ’em, seven—they’re heading to the American League Championship Series. That’s 1902, 1903, 1904, 1907, 1915, 1917, and now 1919! Talk about a century-old highlight reel.
They sweep away the Kansas City Royals like leaves in October. A tidy 3–0.
Today? A 4–2 win where Sal “The Sultan of Swing” Valdez did a little bit of everything—hitting .462 for the series, scoring runs, making pitchers sweat.
And how about Sal Cantu on the mound? Seven innings of pure “You. Shall. Not. Pass.” He was mowing ‘em down like Sunday grass.
And don’t sleep on Jordan Rizo—“Can you Rizo me now? Good!”—with a solo shot that set the tone in the second inning.
So the Orioles? They sit back, prop their feet up, and wait for the Texas Rangers and Cleveland Indians to figure out who wants the other ticket to this ALCS dance.
Final Berman flourish:
The Baltimore Orioles—back to the big stage, back to chasing glory. And right now, they look like a team that could go… all… the… way!
