There really haven’t been too many close pennant races involving the Yankees and the Orioles.   These are the closest finishes:

2012: Yankees 95, Orioles 93 (O’s eliminated in game 162; last held the lead in game 159)

1997: Orioles 98, Yankees 96 (Yankees eliminated in game 161; O’s led wire to wire)

1974: Orioles 91, Yankees 89 (Yankees eliminated in game 161; last held the lead in game 154)

1964: Yankees 99, Orioles 97 (O’s eliminated in game 160; last held the lead in game 151)

1980: Yankees 103, Orioles 100 (O’s eliminated in game 160; last held the lead in game 9)

1977: Yankees 100, Orioles 97 (O’s eliminated in game 159; last held the lead in game 105) 

1996: Yankees 92, Orioles 88 (O’s eliminated in game 159; last held the lead in game 49).

This year’s race is the next-closest, and there’s really nothing else that was even remotely close.
