Opinion: Baltimore can turn a corner: O’s have shown us how

Like All-Star games, elections tend to leave behind a touch of optimism (and more than a little second-guessing), so it’s probably fortuitous that the Maryland primary fell on the same day as the Major League Baseball’s Midsummer Classic this year. Both events provide an opportunity to take the measure of things. But while the outcome of the primary vote is critically important to the state, the result of the game at Dodger Stadium isn’t that big a deal to Orioles fans. That’s because the 2022 franchise already made them proud.
