Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Kid"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Kid"
There will be books written about baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams for as long as the printing presses roll. Williams provided a lot of material in a life filled with his baseball superstar status, turbulent private life, running quarrels with the Boston baseball press and cryogenic ending. In "The Kid," Ben Bradlee Jr. left none of that life untouched in this can't-wait-to-turn-the-page read. Check out the accompanying video for more on "The Kid." A shout out to the Selby Public...

Orioles' partnership with Sarasota County proves valuable for both parties

Orioles
Orioles' partnership with Sarasota County proves valuable for both parties
While the Orioles' location of spring training operations in Sarasota County began as a back-up plan of sorts, it has become a valuable and uniting force between the O's and the county. When the Orioles failed to lock down a long-term deal with the city of Fort Lauderdale for spring operations more than five years ago, they began to look west. "We did the deal (with Sarasota in 2009) because the (Orioles) ownership felt it was such a good community and such a good fit for the fan base,...

Spring training promotional giveaways, special events announced by O's
It wasn't so long ago that a spring training game was enough of an event to draw fans in Florida and Arizona communities that had no other access to Major League Baseball. But times change, and even Grapefruit League games need a little creative nudge, something special to bring the fans out. The Orioles today announced their list of promotional giveaways and special events for spring games at Ed Smith Stadium. Depending on which games you attend in Sarasota - and providing you arrive early...

Orioles continue to engage with Sarasota community through "Arts in the Ballpark"

During this frigid time of year, people want to escape to the beach, warmer temperatures and sunny skies. One place to escape to is Sarasota, the spring training home of the Baltimore Orioles.
