Baltimore baseball fans rise with their playoff-bound Orioles: ‘This is so exciting, it’s like Christmas’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:15 GMT

Nine years — not that long ago in the span of the ballclub’s relationship to Baltimore — have passed since Delmon Young’s line drive rocketed down the left field line to give the Orioles their last home playoff victory.Camden Yards throbbed with passion that afternoon in a way it has not since. The Orioles were swept out of the American League Championship Series later that October, and their postseason ambitions died with a single heartbreaking loss in 2016.They wandered into the baseball wilderness after that, losing 115 games in 2018, 108 in 2019 and 110 in 2021. Many fans opted to hibernate rather than experience the hopelessness of those years.That helps explain the intense hunger and joy they feel now that the Orioles are back, preparing to host the Texas Rangers in the first game of the American League Division Series on Saturday afternoon.For young fans, this is a chance to feel the Orioles Magic their parents and grandparents were raised on, to b...

JERUSALEM (AP) — The ruling Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel at daybreak Saturday, firing thousands of rockets as dozens of Hamas fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land and sea and catching the country off-guard on a major holiday.

The military declined to give details about casualties or kidnappings as it continued to battle the infiltrators.“We are at war,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address, declar...
