On this date in 1953 - The St. Louis Browns of the American League were given permission to move to Baltimore, MD, where they became the Baltimore Orioles.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, loyal StL Browns fans, were mighty pissed.

They conjured up a curse on the Orioles and sentenced them to a shitty owner and decade-long losing seasons, and lo and behold, Peter Angelos appeared.
