Not sure if we are the best or not, but there is just something special about the O's for those that grew up a fan during the Brooks, Frank, Earl, etc. years, as I did. I moved away from Bel Air in 1978 to Florida, but to this day I am an O's fan through and through, always will be, and if reincarnation is a thing, I hope I don't come back as anything other than an O's fan again. A little better looking for the ladies next time would be nice, though .
A memory I still have of the O's, among many, is slipping off by myself from a family reunion in Baltimore someplace with my transistor radio and listening as the O's came back from something like an 8-1 deficit in the eighth or ninth inning to win. Just a regular game in the middle of the summer, not sure when, probably 74-77 sometime, but I still remember the joy of being youthful and the world revolving around the baseball team you loved.
