Here's a different spin on the idea of a Bird Tape: My audiobook-style reading of a story I wrote nearly four decades ago about the magical, World Series-winning 1966 Orioles.
With the players the O's have now I am disappointed in their playoff performance but making the wild card round is no disgrace! I still consider it a great year for the team and several individual players. Being a center fielder in my youth, not a very good one, Cedric Mullins is my favorite current Oriole.
That was the beginning of Oriole's Magic. Hopefully the last 2 years performance by the O's despite the playoff woes will also prove to be the beginning of more Oriole's Magic, hopefully. But it is a different game now both on the field and in the Front Office, we will have to see what happens.

I feel like they should traded him and not Hays. Didn’t work for either team did it?
Glad to have you here, Gary. You are right about making the playoffs being no disgrace, especially given the Orioles' recent record.
