Baltimore faced plenty of adversity on the mound last season. Zach Eflin provided less than 75 innings, Charlie Morton fell off a cliff, and Grayson Rodriguez never made an appearance for the Orioles.

The World Series has given baseball fans from all walks of life memories for life. From Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off home run in 1960, the catch by Willie Mays in 1954, Luis Gonzalez’s walk-off against Mariano Rivera to thwart the New York Yankees’ chances of winning four straight championships in 2001, and more recently, the Chicago […]
