Congratulations to the 28+ Orioles on winning their second championship in the last four years.
I can't tell you how proud I am of Mark Lennox and Mario Arduini for taking the managerial reigns from me this year and doing such a fabulous job. They brought in young talented players to compliment the core Orioles squad and obviously it worked out.
In the past four years the Orioles have been to the semi finals every year, the finals three times and have brought home two championships. They have also won 54 of their last 70 games.
Congratulations to the long time Orioles who have been there the past four years like Mark Dabney, Doug Reisinger, Mark Lennox, Mario Arduini, Bob Bolt, Mike Hicks, Dennis Walters, Mike Stammel, Jim Maloney, Brian Rossiter, Paul Scutieri, Tony Nardacci, Al Dudla, Dennis Buckley and John Pologa. Congratulations to Bert Vandenberg, Phil Oliva, Jimmy Becker and Jim Shook for putting them over the top this year.
THANKS DICK AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY WE LEARNED ALOT ABOUT RUNNING A BASEBALL TEAM CORRECTLY FROM YOUR MANAGING. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UP FRONT AND HONEST ABOUT OUR ROLES ON THE ORIOLES AND WE JUST CONTINUED IN THAT MINDSET...THANKS DICK AND GO RED SOX
