Were the 1970 Orioles the best team of the last 50-something years?

From 1966 to 1971, the Baltimore Orioles won 4 AL pennants and 2 World Series.   The 1969-71 team won 318 games over 3 seasons with incredible pitching, defense and hitting.

Were the Orioles the best team ever before free agency changed everything?   

I would say yes with all due respect to the Oakland A's who won 3 straight World Series titles.   (By the way, the A's had to beat the Orioles in the 1973 and 1974 ALCS to make it to the World Series.
