This year's lineup included Liz Rose, GRAMMY Award and American Country Music Award-winning songwriter; Laura...

On this week's "Orioles Classics" on MASN, you can relive the entire four-game series with midday broadcasts of the O's conquest of the wild card Mariners. It was a wild series full of twists and turns, marquee pitching matchups and unexpected power. If...
