A's potential mirror of Orioles under Weaver and 1969 run
The piece draws parallels between the Oakland Athletics 1988 90 teams and the Baltimore Orioles 1969 71 squads. It notes manager Tony La Russa as a modern parallel to Earl Weaver, cites Orioles triumphs and losses, and, through Mark Belanger, reflects on postseason drama versus long 162 game campaigns and the impact of timely pitching and defense.
