    Camden Yards could get wild

    in Orioles Talk

    I remember going to the final home game of 2012.   The O’s could clinch a.playoff spot if they won and the Angels lost either end of a doubleheader they were playing. The game drew 41,000+ and it was very loud.  The O’s won their game, and while people were still celebrating, they started showing the Angels game on the big screen. It was in the last inning and the Angels were on the verge of losing 4-3.  I’d say 3/4 of the fans didn’t budge from their seats, and many of the players hung around the field watching it, since an Angels loss would clinch at least a wild card spot for the O’s. The Angels scored two in the top of the 9th and held off Texas in the bottom of the 9th, so the O’s didn’t end up clinching in front of that crowd.  But later that day, while the O’s were on a flight to Tampa, the Angels lost the nightcap and the O’s clinched their playoff spot.  

    I’ll just never forget the sight of 30,000 Orioles fans sitting in their seats watching another team play on TV.  What an exciting September that was.  The O’s drew $40k + six times that month.  

    I expect something similar this September.  

     

    We were at that game as well.
