The New Oriole Way
Friday night I buy Pico Iyer’s Autumn Light. Imagine my surprise to see that I already had it unread on the stack of books on my table.
Saturday I receive a message from my good buddy mentioning that the Baltimore Orioles minor league system has been ranked number 8 by baseball writers.
Sunday I exchange Autumn Light for Astroball: The New Way to Win It All by Ben Reiter.
I mentioned that the one metric to judge the Baltimore Orioles baseball organization is by how their minor league ranks amongst the baseball pundits. If they can be ranked at least 7th for 5 or 6 years, then they may be heading in the right direction. As for now, 8th is a nice one. Let’s hope it adds up.
