You probably wouldn?t think of the post-World War I era, yet that was when the Baltimore Orioles were one of the most successful franchises ? albeit a minor league franchise ? in baseball history. While native son Babe Ruth was rewriting the record books in major league ball, his former team in Baltimore was doing some rewriting of its own in the International League record book. Many pundits felt they were good enough to compete at the major league level.

The postwar dismantling of ruling dynasties in Europe marked the beginning of Dunn?s baseball dynasty. The Orioles won seven consecutive pennants and at least 100 games from 1919 through 1925. No matter how you define a baseball dynasty, this probably fits comfortably within your definition. Let?s take a closer look at those teams.

Nice post CoC, but it does sound like you have been hanging out with Drungo.

LOL, I wasn't trying to be mean, I respect Drungo and his knowledge of the game.
