Browns documentary underway

Browns documentary underway. The recent publication and overwhelming success of the book: St. Louis Browns - The Story of a Beloved Team has triggered the development of a film on the Browns baseball team's history that will be televised in the spring. Ed Wheatley of the Browns Fan Club has been working with the film's production team to turn the Gateway Grizzlies' stadium into 1930's and 1940's Sportsman's Park for scenes within the film. The scenes will include actual Browns uniforms, bats and other memorabilia. Stay in touch with this site as more information on the documentary's launch will be detailed. It is shaping up to be an excellent piece of baseball lore.

18th Last-Place Finish in Franchise History

Here I thought the Orioles were in a resurgence under Buck Showalter.  Then I look up and see that the O's actually finished in last place. Hmmmn.  Well, for the record, that's the 18th last place finish for the franchise: 

7 with Baltimore

10 with St. Louis

1 as Milwaukee

One columnist, today, is recommending: "Suddenly the Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles should see tank-and-rebound as their only realistic options."
