Orioles-Yankees rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

As a Yankees fan, I wasn't aware we had a notable rivalry with the Orioles. As an editor, I don't see very much use of this article (at least as it stands). This guy seems to think there is a rivalry, but that seems to be about it for the sourcing, and the author seems to take a viewpoint that we on the Yankees side don't. If there is a rivalry, it's quite one-sided. Maybe I'm wrong and there really is something resulting from the Yankees playing as the "Baltimore Orioles" in 1901 and 1902, but I'm skeptical.

 * Work On, but Delete Later if Need Be I created this due to the teams playing each other for years. Both teams had a heated rivalry in the 70s and it was renewed in the 90s. With that said, when I created this article I didn't equate the RS situation regarding this rivalry. I was alerted to this after I suggested a Phillies-Pirates rivalry article, but found out that was shot down because apparantly they didn't find sources for that. In all honesty, I don't edit too much so I don't keep up with things because I don't have the time to. I would have liked to read more about great events between the 2 teams, which I have witnessed a few of in my lifetime, but I will understand if you guys delete based on the criteria. Hopefully we can save it though. Arnabdas (talk) 17:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
