Biggest Oriole Comeback Win In 53 Years!

Check it! They haven't done anything like this since 1956!

Not since these guys:
Has the city of Baltimore seen a win like this one! I wonder who led the charge back then? I tried to google it, but can't find any info. I admittedly didn't look that hard for it though. I'll bet it was Gus Triandos or George Kell, and if it was anything like tonight's amazing comeback, it must have been awesome to watch, even in black & white.

The truly incredible thing about tonight's game was that you could argue it was Felix Pie who sparked it all off. Adam Jones got hurt almost robbing Youkilis of a homer in the first inning, and Pie came on to play the game of his life. Nick Markakis knocked in the tying and go-ahead runs, which could not have been any sweeter for this O's fan.

Oh, and I just heard on the postgame show that this is indeed the biggest comeback in Oriole history, passing the 8 run comeback win that happened in '56. Oh what a night!
