Even if it didn't feel like the end, we can officially put the 2012 baseball season in the books. It was an amazing year, with so much promise for the future of the Orioles. A team that has struggled year after year came together and found that special "spark" that was able to ignite the entire city of Baltimore and bring it back to life. Teammates became family and worked towards one goal ... winning.
Along with several of his teammates, the hubs had an outstanding season. Record breaking 51 saves, MLB Delivery Man of the Month, American League All Star, nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award, and the recipient of the Orioles Community Service Award. I don't usually brag, but both on and off the field, this man continues to amaze me and make me one proud wife! :)
A team that wasn't expected to finish above 500, not only accomplished that ... but made it to the playoffs for the first time in fifteen years. Talk about a fun, exciting, and well deserved journey!
First stop ... Texas, for the American League Wild Card game. An amazing time with the ladies and such a fun win!
Then it was time to face the Yankees. Baltimore was PACKED with orange and black, in a way that I've never seen! In New York, Jim was able to meet up with his biggest fans ... childhood friends who now cheer on the O's, despite growing up in Yankee territory.
Even though it wasn't the ending we were hoping for, it was such a fun ride. This team worked hard. They worked together. They became family and we feel extremely blessed to be part of it all.
Win or lose, the wives are always proud of their hubbies! :)
Until next season ....
