The club also announced some additional promotions, including Tupac and Pete Alonso bobbleheads. Because you can’t think of one without the other.
Shakur lived in Baltimore from 1984–88 and attended the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied acting, poetry, jazz and ballet.
The Orioles will distribute Tupac Bobbleheads to the first 15,000 fans prior to the Friday, May 8 game against the Athletics, and the Alonso Bobblehead to the first 15,000 fans prior to the Saturday, Aug. 22 game against the Rays.

The club already shared more details about the Birdland Caravan that runs from Jan. 22-24 with stops in Baltimore, Bethesda, Ellicott City, Halethorpe, Linthicum Heights, Sykesville, White Marsh and a mystery Pop-Up Photo Op location in Prince George’s County.
The event provides a rare opportunity for the media to catch up with some players during the offseason. Information on access will become available within the next week.
We’ll always remember interviewing reliever Dillon Tate at the 2023 Caravan about his selection to the Team USA roster for the World Baseball Classic. He called it a "crazy feeling."
More crazy was Tate already knowing that he had a right elbow flexor strain. He wasn’t pitching for Team USA. He didn’t pitch for the Orioles.
Knowing who’s participating this month, here are a few question ideas for anyone made available.
Manager Craig Albernaz
What does he think about the current roster since the last time we spoke to him? He’s got two new starters – well, one new and one returnee – with Shane Baz and Zach Eflin.
What kind of prep work has he done leading up to spring training and his first camp as a major league manager?
How has he been received by players, fans and anyone else with a pulse?
Anything relating to the rotation and lineup, despite how it’s too early to ask about anything relating to the rotation and lineup.
Albernaz also will be asked about his coaching staff.
First baseman Pete Alonso
Alonso already sat through a 45-minute press conference after signing his five-year, $155 million contract and nothing new has happened to him. But that was a month ago.
Has he found a place to live or is the move on hold?
What’s his usual offseason routine to get ready for spring training?
Any new thoughts on the roster and chances of playing in the World Series?
Has he talked to any new teammates?
Anything relating to his interaction with the public.
Anything relating to his bobblehead.
Hopefully, something a lot more interesting than these ideas.
Gunnar Henderson
His reaction to the Alonso signing and other moves made so far this offseason.
Playing for Team USA, and sharing shortstop with Bobby Witt Jr.
His big arbitration raise, the largest in team history for a first-timer.
Married life.
He’s probably going to be asked about the shoulder impingement from last season that he talked about last week on the “Orioles Hot Stove Show.”
How confident is Henderson that he can put up numbers closer to his 2024 season?
How does Henderson feel about the Albernaz hiring?
Has Henderson connected with new hitting coach Dustin Lind and assistant Brady North?
Any opinions on new infield coach Miguel Cairo?
Adley Rutschman
Can he get through the season without injuring an oblique, or anything else?
Like everyone else, he’s going to be asked about playing for a new manager, and he also can comment on the hitting coaches.
Rutschman also can talk about catching coach Joe Singley and having former major league catcher Hank Conger on the staff as bullpen coach. And having Albernaz, a standout defensive catcher in the minors.
What did Rutschman see from Samuel Basallo after the top prospect’s promotion in August?
Rutschman probably will be asked about catching Shane Baz, as well as Eflin’s return. Perhaps by Caravan time, the Orioles will have added another starter for Rutschman to comment on and later catch.
Jackson Holliday
What areas is he concentrating on during his offseason workouts?
How much of it is getting more comfortable at second base?
Having Alonso on the right side of the infield.
The importance of veteran leaders like Alonso and Taylor Ward in his development.
The same Cairo question.
I'll focus on other confirmed participates later this week.
