Since and including 1966, the O's have the best Opening Day winning percentage in all of baseball. If you find yourself wondering how such a bad team could be so good on Opening Day, remind yourself the the O's had the best record in regular season games between 1966 and 1985. If you then find yourself saying, 'Yeah, but they've been pretty bad since 1985,' remind yourself of the 1997 wire-to-wire AL Pennant and the 1996 divisional playoffs lost to the worst blown call in the history of sports. If you then find yourself saying, 'But since 1997 they've had eleven straight losing seasons' ...tell yourself: 2009... 83 WINS BABY -- MARK IT DOWN, WAKE THE NEIGHBORS!
