1970 Orioles win Kevin Burghardt’s Great Teams of the 1970s project

You may know him from his Lid campaign from Facebook.  He’s also done an APBA Fan Profile on the APBA Blog.  Kevin Burghardt is a die-hard 1970s fan when it comes to baseball.  He’s finished his Great Teams from the 1970s project we’ve read about in the past.  Not too surprisingly, the powerhouse Orioles of 1970 won it all.

Kevin sent me the standings and leaderboards from his project.   You can find more info on his project at his website.

Thanks for sharing, Kevin!!
