The year was 1996, a lifetime ago for Orioles fans and a rather meaningless event in the development of Machado, who grew up to become a No. 1 draft pick and a key player in Baltimore's improbable, magnificent 2012 season. Sixteen years after the Yankees...

ALDS series preview: Yankees vs Orioles

Before we take a look forward at what is to come in the ALDS, let’s travel back in time to the beginning of the season in late March and early April.

New York Yankees beat Baltimore Orioles in game 1 of ALDS

Yankees, Orioles renew rivalry

Orioles rookie third baseman Manny Machado was a 4-year-old when Baltimore and the New York Yankees last met in the postseason.

The 1996...
