The Orioles will try next season to make the playoffs in three consecutive years for only the second time in franchise history and the first since 1969-71. The Wild Card lessens the challenge but it remains a daunting task. They won only one World Series in that span, beating the Reds in five games in 1970, and aren’t labeled as a dynasty because o
