Baltimore Ravens coach has a special message for the Baltimore Orioles

October is a great time to be a sports fan, especially in Charm City.

On Tuesday, October 1, the Baltimore Orioles will begin the month with their first playoff game against the Kansas City Royals in the AL Wild Card round. If all goes as planned, Camden Yards will be buzzing all month long as the Orioles attempt to win their first World Series title since 1983.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens look like Super Bowl contenders again after back-to-back wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills through late September. They also have a busy month ahead of them, starting with this week’s crucial AFC North game against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

After dismantling the Bills 35-10 at home on Sunday Night Football, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh made sure to show his support for the Orioles during Monday’s press conference.

Instead of wearing a Ravens shirt, Harbaugh wore a black long-sleeved Orioles shirt with the phrase “October Ready” on the front. He also had a special message for the Orioles, barking, “Let’s go, O’s. Let’s go!”

Although he grew up in the Midwest, Harbaugh, 62, has been the Ravens’ head coach since 2008, so he knows how much the Orioles mean to the city and how passionate the city’s fans are.

This is only the Orioles’ fifth appearance in the playoffs during that span and the first time they have reached the postseason in consecutive seasons since 1996-97, so Harbaugh hasn’t had too many opportunities to support them in October.

Harbaugh led the Ravens to a Super Bowl victory over his brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers during the 2012 season, so he knows what it feels like to win a championship for Baltimore.

The city hasn’t had a title since then, but I hope the Orioles or Ravens change that soon enough.
