History of Birdland

He may be a forgotten name in Orioles history because the early to mid 2000s Orioles weren't the most fun teams to watch. However, Rodrigo Lopez made his mark by winning 15 games twice and 14 games once. Lopez also finished second in the AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2002.

Today's episode is all about the career of Rodrigo Lopez!

On this week's show we recap one of the worst memories for a lot of Orioles fans and that's the 1979 World Series. The Orioles had a commanding 3-1 lead in the series but the Pirates fought back to steal away the Orioles third potential World Championship. If you want to, go back in time with me to recap this soul crushing series.

I probably think about this more than I would care to admit but I've always wondered what could have been with the Orioles if they decided to bring back Nick Markakis, Nelson Cruz and Andrew Miller after the 2014 season. Well I dive into it on this episode and something tells me I won't feel much better afterwards.

A few years back Dan Connolly wrote a piece on this very topic, check it out here.

On this episode of the History of Birdland Podcast I look back at the career of Matt Wieters. A player who came in with all the hype and even if he didn't quite live up to it, he was a key part in the resurgence of Baltimore Orioles baseball.

One of the few profiles that I will do on this podcast that had two really good careers in baseball. His first as a key player in the Orioles multiple World Series teams from 1966-1971. Then after his retirement form the game he became one of the game's best managers. This week's History of Birdland Podcast is about none other than Davey Johnson!

With the 2025 season underway, I thought it would be a good time to revisit some of my favorite moments from Orioles Home Openers in my lifetime.
