Looking to find when the Orioles clinched at least a playoff birth in 1997. Not when they clinch the division, but at least a spot in the playoffs. Does anyone know? I've looked on baseball reference, MLB, Yahoo, with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

In September.
Well I know in September. I'm looking for an exact date though. Doing some future prep-work.

The O's were the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff birth - on September 15; in the first game of a DH.
An interesting fact for you all: The O's and Indians played doubleheaders on consecutive days. Monday, September 15 and Tuesday the 16th. Also, the 15th was the first game back for Eric Davis, who had colon cancer surgery that June.

Doubleheaders in consecutive days, wonder when the last time that happened was. Would be a nightmare with our reliance on the 'pen.The O's were the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff birth - on September 15; in the first game of a DH.

Especially since on the 15th, Esteban Yan only went 4 2/3 innings in the first game and Rick Krivda only went 6 in the second game.
