Is it a Top 5 all-time night at The Yard? Luke Jones and Nestor give it the full Baltimore baseball history treatment.
Two platters so nice that we had to think twice before we included them both in the 27th Anniversary TastyNes countdown.

They are the most talented team in the NFL by most measurements and that was on display for three quarters in Buffalo where the Baltimore Ravens were manhandling the Bills – until it all unraveled.

The 30th Anniversary of Cal Ripken’s 2131 celebration brought Camden Yards to life on Saturday – and that was before the incredible baseball game that was a prelude to a tremendous thud for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night in Buffalo. Leonard Raskin tells Nestor why he left a Yamamoto no-hitter in progress.
The late, double-digit leads squandered by the Baltimore Ravens over the years continue to stack up as the men of John Harbaugh inexplicably choked away another winnable game in Buffalo on Sunday night.

It was quite a Saturday in Birdland. The day began with news of the death of Orioles player and manager Davey Johnson and ended with a near no-hitter and an old-school “Magic” win over the Dodgers in the aftermath of a massive 30th Anniversary celebration of Cal Ripken and 2131. Our Allen McCallum was at Camden Yards on Saturday night and was the WNST clubhouse reporter in 1996 and 1997 when Davey led rare winning teams during the Angelos era. This is a deep dive on Orioles lore and history.
With the 1975 Baltimore Colts reunion coming later this month, it was appropriate to reach out to the other biggest Bert Jones fan in the sports journalism community by inviting one-time Baltimore Colts beat writer for The Evening Sun, Clark Judge, back to talk Memorial Stadium, Lamar Jackson’s quest to win a Super Bowl and the long waiting in Buffalo as another NFL season begins.

When it’s been as lousy as it has been for as long as it has been, we all realized the Baltimore Orioles rebuild and retool under new ownership could be a “work in progress.” Georgetown sports business professor and one-time leader of the Birdland sales and business operation Marty Conway discusses this tumultuous time in MLB for media, money and labor peace whilst Camden Yards gets renovated and David Rubenstein tries to figure out a baseball franchise presumably with Mike Elias still picking players.
