That brings back so many memories. Also kinda heartbreaking looking at how much talent going into the next season that team had compared to this one. Thanks for sharing that.

Feels like 20 years ago, so many things have happened since. Strange to see Chris Davis drive the ball to start the two-out rally and then lead the celebration on Reimold's double. Make it 30.

It's true that Thorne/Palmer on MASN would have made this season (and last) a little more fun. Another instance of how little this team's decision-makers (whoever they are) care about its remaining fans when the opportunity to save a few bucks presents itself. For those of you who believe this sort of economizing will somehow enable the Orioles to loosen the purse strings a few years down the road, I wish I had a baseball team to sell you.

I was there.  Cousin (Red Sox fan) picked me up when I was working in Arlington.  Somehow got a luxury box out in LF.  

Watched the whole thing.  He was groaning when we got in the elevator to leave.  Groaned a lot when the Tampa final was announced.  

What a great game.  What a great day.

Thanks for bringing this up. Had to watch one of my favorite videos ever again. I'll always prefer this version (Yours is good too!):

I had DVR’d the game so I could watch after attending Rosh Hashanah services. Was watching the whole thing when I got back, without knowing the outcome, but my recording time ended just after Reimold’s line drive left the bat.   I’d built in some extra time on the recording in case of a long rain delay, but apparently five minutes too little.  Incredibly frustrating!   But I was able to watch the ending a hundred times on the internet.

I had forgotten that Tampa was down 7-0 in the 8th. I remembered extra innings but my brain somehow purged how incredible that comeback was.  I remember feeling like the Os won to put themselves in the playoffs, it was that satisfying for me. That game and the wild card win are the two best Os games for me. Kind of sad for being a fan all my life.  I was too young to remember the 83 WS.

That will never get old.

It certainly does get oldER, though, has it been long enough that we can remark on how young those guys look?

If we EVER have a meaningful game or series against the Red Sox in the future Robert Andino needs to throw out the first pitch.

Barstool trivia question… who was the Hall of Famer playing for the O’s that night?  
Vladimir Guerrero.

Sigh... I really thought Reimold was gonna be zooming around the bases for seasons to come.

I still say Reimold would have been a multiple time all star if he stayed healthy.

This, along with the Yankees at Rays, helped create the greatest video game opening ever in MLB The Show 12!

The end with Andino saying "Take ya *** home" will always be so good. So, so good.
