Orioles quizzed on "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" lyrics

"Well, life on the farm is kinda ______-_______." You know the words! During every seventh-inning stretch, hearing John Denver's "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" is as much a part of going to an Orioles game as the hot dog race, a Boog's BBQ sandwich or a stroll down Eutaw Street. Since the players hear the song every home game, we decided to test their knowledge of the 1974 classic. Lefty Paul Fry was the first to embrace the challenge even though he's often in the zone warming up in the...

Orioles

The logos on the Camden Yards field are painted. The bunting hang along the baseline walls. Opening day is just hours away. There are many questions that fill the minds of Orioles fans on the dawn of a new season. How will the starting rotation perform? Who will bat leadoff? How will the bullpen hold up without Zach Britton? But here's another offseason question that may get overlooked during the excitement of opening day: What's new to eat and drink at the ballpark this year? Just under 24...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Beckham quickly impresses in first week with Orioles

Orioles

Tim Beckham became a welcome addition to the Orioles lineup when he joined the team at the 2017 trade deadline and immediately impressed fans in his first week with the club. He started things off with a 12-game hitting streak from Aug. 1-12, which led to him earning his first American League Player of the Week honor (for July 31-Aug. 6). Beckham became the third player since 1954 to have a hitting streak of at least 12 games to begin their O's career. In those first 12 games with Baltimore,...

"Word art" print of Camden Yards contains names of every player in O's history

"Word art" print of Camden Yards contains names of every player in O's history

If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many words would it take to quantify Orioles history, from the time the team landed in Baltimore from St. Louis in 1954 to the Trey Mancini strikeout that ended the Birds' 2017 campaign at Tropicana Field on Oct. 1? For Philadelphia artist Daniel Duffy, the answer is simple: 1,046, the number of players that have donned Orioles orange and black in the team's history. Duffy, 37, has created one of this year's hottest O's-themed holidays gifts: a...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Britton notches 55th consecutive save to break AL record

Orioles

We continue our #ThrowbackThursday offseason series with a look at one of the top pitching milestones of the 2017 season. On July 23, in the Orioles' 9-7 comeback win over the eventual World Series champion Astros, closer Zach Britton locked down his 55th consecutive save to set a new American League record, which was previously held by Red Sox closer Tom "Flash" Gordon (54, April 19, 1998-May 31, 1999). Britton's dominant streak continued until Aug. 21, when he converted his 60th...

No surprise: O's pass on Jose Bautista (plus other notes)

In the end, just as expected, the Orioles did not sign Jose Bautista. He agreed to a new deal with the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday, one that will pay him $18 million for the 2017 season. Bautista will have a mutual option for the 2018 season and a vesting option for the 2019 season, according to Yahoo Sports. The maximum value of the deal, if it does last for three seasons, is reported to be $60 million. If Bautista has a big season in 2017, he can decline his side of the option and try to cash...

Orioles to celebrate 25th anniversary season at OPACY with commemorative logo

Orioles

Twenty-five years is a major milestone in any person's life. It marks the quarter-century mark of your lifetime and, if you're a recent college graduate like me, it means you can't really identify as a "youth" anymore. The same can be said about ballparks, as the Orioles announced they will be celebrating the 25th anniversary season at Oriole Park at Camden Yards with a commemorative logo on game baseballs and jerseys during the 2017 season. The logo will be printed on all official...
