The Baltimore Orioles just clinched the AL East and earned the top seed in the AL playoffs in a 2-0 home win over the Boston Red Sox, and team broadcaster Kevin Brown was the perfect person to ring in the moment.
Brown, of course, earned one of the stupidest suspensions you’re likely to ever see from Orioles management this summer after he commented on a statistic about Baltimore’s previous losing streak to the Tampa Bay Rays during a broadcast.
The broadcaster got reinstated quickly after intense outcry, and he got to hit the nail on the head with the hammer with how he got Orioles fans excited for this important moment for the MLB franchise on Thursday night.
"Go crazy, Baltimore. You are the champions of the American League East."

Brown also broke out his awesome Blink-182 impression as he celebrated with the Baltimore locker room.

For all the nonsense that Brown had to deal with in the summer with his ridiculous mini-suspension, it’s great to see him in his element as he delivered one of the most important broadcast calls in Orioles history.
