Is The Spirit Of 1966 Sports Back For More?
Go back to the conclusion of the first weekend of the baseball season. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox had each been swept and the ESPN ticker at the bottom of the TV screen was telling us this was the first time since 1966 that each team had started 0-3. About a day later, a friend of mine who’s an Orioles fan sent me a text pointing this out and then concluding with this little tidbit, phrased as a question—“And who was it that won the World Series in 1966?” The answer, as you may have guessed is the Baltimore Orioles.
