Hey guys, so I need some help. I talked to the guy who makes these: http://www.etsy.com/...ef=pr_shop_more about making an infographic featuring the Orioles on the other side of the coin (compared to the Manny Ramirez play - http://www.etsy.com/...ive-double-play)

Here are some of his other cool infographics...

http://www.etsy.com/...iple-play-16x20

http://www.etsy.com/...-the-flip-16x20

So the question is... what is an O's play that would make a really cool infographic?

Are you looking for an offensive, defensive, or pitching play?

I'm particularly fond of the walk off grand slam Hoiles hit back in 96' against the Mariners.

There's also the Curse of the Andino play.

Defensive plays typically make the best ones because of all the movements of players.

Offensive plays can be ok, but it depends on how complex the play is. The more complex the play, the better (see Tulo's triple play or the Manny play)

It wasn't good for the O's, but I seem to recall a few years back when they played the Twins and Minnesota hit a sac fly and the guy scored from second base.

Well - the O's last triple play was in 2000.

9/1/2000 Baltimore Orioles at Cleveland Indians 6-4*-4*-3*

I wonder how cool a strikem out throwem out play would be?

Remember when Jim Johnson struck out Danny Espinosa and then Wieters threw out Ian Desmond when we played the Nationals earlier in the year?

That strikem out throwem out play ended and won the game for us.

I'm drawing a blank... do you have video?

Relay plays would seem to work well for this

In the bottom of the 15th or 16th. Double to center ans Jones threw it to the cutoff man and Wieters tagged.him out with the "u mad bro" look.

The David Newhan inside-the-park HR up in Fenway. When Manny decided to dive and cut-off Damon's throw :lol

Or the Adam Jones one when Nyjer Morgan had a temper tantrum in CF.

That would look pretty amazing on one of those infographics.
