masn-baseballs-orioles.jpgIt’s pouring right now at Camden Yards. No, pouring may be too tame a word. The rain is coming down so hard that I can barely see the tour group stuck in the visitors dugout from my fifth-floor Warehouse window.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t see the tarp on the field in the middle of a rainstorm and not think of ex-Orioles catcher and current MASN broadcaster Rick Dempsey, who turned rain delay boredom into laugh-inducing pantomime on many a major league diamond.
Sometimes Dempsey…

It’s pouring right now at Camden Yards. No, pouring may be too tame a word. The rain is coming down so hard that I can barely see the tour group stuck in the visitors dugout from my fifth-floor Warehouse window.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t see the tarp on the field in the middle of a rainstorm and not think of ex-Orioles catcher and current MASN broadcaster Rick Dempsey, who turned rain delay boredom into laugh-inducing pantomime on many a major league diamond.

Sometimes Dempsey stuffed who-knows-what down the front of his uniform and morphed into Babe Ruth. But in this You Tube clip, he mimicked former Brewers star Robin Yount (though I don’t recall Yount sporting the Pabst-filled midriff). Nice touch by Sammy Stewart on his Jim Palmer impersonation with the undergarments on the outside.

Enjoy – and say a little prayer that the deluge lightens up in time for tonight’s game against the Blue Jays and the postgame fireworks display.
