History of Birdland

On this week's show we recap one of the worst memories for a lot of Orioles fans and that's the 1979 World Series. The Orioles had a commanding 3-1 lead in the series but the Pirates fought back to steal away the Orioles third potential World Championship. If you want to, go back in time with me to recap this soul crushing series. Follow Me on Socials @AndySnaks @BirdlandHistory Don't...

I probably think about this more than I would care to admit but I've always wondered what could have been with the Orioles if they decided to bring back Nick Markakis, Nelson Cruz and Andrew Miller after the 2014 season. Well I dive into it on this episode and something tells me I won't feel much better afterwards. A few years back Dan Connolly wrote a piece on this very topic, check it ou...

On this episode of the History of Birdland Podcast I look back at the career of Matt Wieters. A player who came in with all the hype and even if he didn't quite live up to it, he was a key part in the resurgence of Baltimore Orioles baseball.

One of the few profiles that I will do on this podcast that had two really good careers in baseball. His first as a key player in the Orioles multiple World Series teams from 1966-1971. Then after his retirement form the game he became one of the game's best managers. This week's History of Birdland Podcast is about none other than Davey Johnson!

The 1997 Orioles might have had one of the best regular seasons in the past 30 years. They went wire to wire, never spending a day out of first place, winning 98 games. Their first obstacle to a World Title was the equally formidable Seattle Mariners. Join me as I recap the 1997 American League Division Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Seattle Mariners.

The 2021 season was definitely a season to forget for Orioles fans. The rebuild was still in progress and the Orioles only managed to win 52 games. However there was one moment to remember and it was John Means throwing the 6th no hitter in Orioles history. In this episode I'll recap that game from start to finish.

It was one of the biggest upsets in World Series history. The 109 win Baltimore Orioles faced the 'Miracle Mets' in the 1969 Fall Classic and just like in Super Bowl III earlier in 1969, it was not a good end to a great season for the Baltimore team.

The Orioles went 15 straight seasons without a winning record from 1998-2011. However, just because the team was not great as a whole it doesn't mean they didn't have good players putting together good seasons. Melvin Mora was one of those players always putting together consistent performances for the Orioles that led to a induction into the Orioles Hall of Fame after his playing career w...

In my opinion one of the unsung heroes of the Orioles teams from 2012-2016. He was our top of the rotation starter who put together a good 4 year stretch before injuries claimed a promising career.
