Brady and I did our annual Orioles’ game Saturday night along with his father-in-law Mickey Bowes and brother-in-law Ryan Lumpkins.
It was Hawaiian shirt promo night, so approximately 25,000 folks were there with us to watch MLB’ worst team the O’s lose 12-4 to Tampa Bay. One of those 25,000 attendees was nice enough to take this photo of us posing in front of a mural of the Camden Warehouse. (Boog discusses the importance of the warehouse in video below.)
Long, hot evening but still had good time and enjoyed “going to the game” (four of my favorite words (click here.) That the Orioles have fallen so low is still tough to accept. Brady mentioned some article or story discussing a minor league player being demoted to play for the Orioles. Turns out it was a story in the satiric Onion:
OK, I admit that it is kinda of funny, but still it hurts when your team is the laughing stock of MLB.
To conclude on a positive note, I did manage to run into Boog Powell out by his barbeque stand and say hello. It brought back some good memories. Here he is talking about Camden Yards and what a great ball park it is (regardless how lousy the O’s really are.)
