The ESPN Zone hosted another Orioles Q&A and autograph session today, this time welcoming O's young arm Brad Bergesen. Bergesen appeared to take the afternoon in stride, as his fellow young O's have done during various appearances this season.

Earlier this week, Melvin Mora played in his 793rd game at third base for the Orioles. That moved him past Doug DeCinces into second all-time in games played at third by an Oriole.
