1997 Baltimore Orioles season

Major League Baseball season

The 1997 Baltimore Orioles season saw the Orioles finishing first in the American League East Division with a record of 98 wins and 64 losses. They met the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS, and beat them in four games. However, in the ALCS, they would play the Cleveland Indians, where they would fall in six games. It was the final season for Davey Johnson as manager, as a disagreement with ownership drove him out. It would be their last winning season until 15 years later.
