Why The Baltimore Orioles Haven't Been To The World Series Since 1983

[jediwise]

It's a free country, and you can hate on Cal if you want, but baseball is a game of both numbers/stats and heart. Cal's numbers in both of these categories destroy all theories that he was not one of the greats. He is/was admired in every stadium he played in, even if they didn't like his contributing to beating the home team in his prime.

If there were any Cal's left in baseball, maybe it wouldn't have dropped from the American past time to number 3 at best.

lol I don't usually respond to morons and wetards but you losers take the cake! You know nothing about baseball. What's happened to it in the last 10 years? A bunch of well overpaid steroid monsters who sit out when they break a fingernail. Seriously, get a life!

[MindsiMedia]

@KingBing8 ?

[msm318]

Cal Ripken is a pathetic loser. He ruined the organization for decades. Please challenge me on this if you disagree......

[MindsiMedia]

@msm318 I don't disagree but would love to hear your theory. So how has Baltimore's only Hall of Fame type player for decades ruined the organization?

[msm318]

Ripken is the reason that the O's have sucked for so long. There is no doubt about it. I hate that selfish bastard. He is the most overrated athlete of all time.

[bassplayeroceanside]

You spelled Ripken wrong.

This video is claimed to have been made in late 1983. He's holding a 1984 Topps. You can buy them on Ebay for about $1.00 a piece. They have a book value of $6.00. It's still a strange video. Also, to the person who said that Ripken's rookie goes for Thousands now. None of his major league rookie cards hold that kind of price. His 1982 Topps rookie that is professionally graded as a Gem Mint 10 usually sells on Ebay for about $500. Some of Ripken's minor league cards can bring thousands.

@Sandlingtonfoot It was an alcohol involved evening memories a bit hazy exactly when it occured.

[BonjoviFan08]

fuck baltimore they suck ass. they will never win a world series not untill 2030 ahaha

[Champraves311]

So if I do this same shit to a Juan Pierre baseball card, it will remove the curse? 

[MindsiMedia]

@Champraves311 It depends on how many beers you drink. You want to have at least six under your belt for it to have a chance of working.

[MindsiMedia]

atleast it works... (evil laugh).... muuaaaahhhhahahahahahaaa! I removed this comment when I went to reply to it but liked it so much I had to repost it.

[yomamadontdanz]

I have one word for the Chicago White sox faithful from 1983...TITO LANDRUM BABY!

[sxsder24]

That kid is old now.

[bmorejumper24]

I think your curse has worked. The Orioles haven't been back to World Series since '83. They have had "No Luck".

[thomesocksup]

oh think of the money that you just burned. LOL!

[Twazman]

White sox fans can get crazy

[bmanfunkydrum]

i bet you feel like a dumb shit now

[MindsiMedia]

That's what I thought. But now I've gone back and checked the records. Baltimore has not been back to the World Series since this ritual was performed.So now I don't know. Maybe it's time to burn some Cub's cards.

[BoilingPoint212F]

Really , Cal's rookie card is worth thousands now.

[MindsiMedia]

Maybe in certain parts of Baltimore they are but on Ebay it seems to be more like $50-$100. I mean no offense to Baltimore fans out there in any of this. They are a team with a rich history, In fact one of my favorite baseball books was written about the Earl Weaver era O's.

And just to mention it but ever since I posted my reply about burning some Cub's cards I don't think they've won a game. Coincidence?

[TheMarc81980]

That was a 1984 Topps card worth $5. I am sure you can get one for $1 on Ebay.

[TheZachish]

@BoilingPoint212F ya hope it was a fake, would be a shame to destroy a relic from when the O's where not such a joke.

[davidhaman1978]

Very funny ha ha ha ha NOT......O's fan here Tthe O's haven't won since then because of these 2 words "Peter Angelo's", not to mention we play in the hardest richest division in all of sports..between bad ownership and bad scouting moves if sucks ..Thanks Peter Angelos..you runied my childhood passion

[TheZachish]

@davidhaman1978 that is true the socks and yanks spend to the point of insanity... back when the O's had a chance they were number 2 or 3 in the spending, baseball needs a salary cap. I have said that for about 2 decades.

[msm318]

@davidhaman1978 You are a moron. As a life-long O's fan.....you have no idea what you are saying. Ripken and ownership/organization at the time - they are the reason for the O's sucking.

[tman91000]

what are you talking about Ripkin is the nice player in oriole history and every body know it.
