Between St. Louis and Baltimore, it was like A Tale of Two Cities. Today's episode features a general look at the forgotten baseball team that was the St. Louis Browns. Often overshadowed by the crosstown Cardinals, who were considered the 'elite' club in the city, the Browns were perennial cellar-dwellers in the American League standings, and were more known for being historically bad than historically good. They later moved to Baltimore, where they rebranded as the Orioles and actually became good– but not before their many years as baseball's lovable losers. In particular, I examine the unforgettable 1944 'miracle' season that saw the beloved Brownies, against all odds, win their 1st and only AL pennant and a trip to the World Series. Tune in for more!
