I've seen Superbowls, World Series and NBA Championships that didn't have the feel of last nights games.
Jim Duquette, former Orioles GM, joins the Bob and Rob Show to look back at the Orioles' season.
The way this team played down the stretch, winning six out of their final 10 games of the season, was a lot of fun. They added a play-off feel for baseball to this town because they did not roll over and die for contenders.
