Baltimore Orioles’ pitchers and catchers are due to report on Thursday of this week. But today is Super Bowl Sunday. The San Fransisco 49ers are taking on Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs this evening. (There’s a joke in there somewhere…) After which we can move onto baseball.
Baltimore of course had a chance to be a part of the game today, but the Ravens fell to Kansas City in the AFC Championship game. However I would remind fans that Baltimore has a special place in NFL history. The Ravens have won two Super Bowls. John Unitas and the Baltimore Colts won one. But even before that, the Colts were NFL Champions several times, most notably in 1958. The greatest game ever played.
It’s so worth throwing in that Baltimore’s the only city in the world that can boast a Super Bowl (from two different franchises), an NFL Title (pre-Super Bowl), AND a Grey Cup championship. The Baltimore Stallions won a CFL title before the Ravens came to town, returning not just football, but championship football to Baltimore’s venerable old Memorial Stadium.
Will the Orioles add a fourth World Series title to that litany of titles this season? Follow along and find out. Welcome to 2024!
