Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Old Man and the Sea"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Old Man and the Sea"
In my 30 years of broadcasting Major League Baseball, there have been far too many plane rides, far too many delays and what could have been, far too many wasted hours. Thank heavens, since the earliest years, I have loved to read. Books are friends to me. Libraries are where those friends live. I engage both as often as possible in my travels. Just for fun, with the help of some friends at MASN (the human kind) and the wonderful folks at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, we begin...

MASNsports.com sets guest blogger rotation for first half of 2015

MASNsports.com sets guest blogger rotation for first half of 2015
Here at MASNsports.com, we don't live in a bubble. We realize we're one of many places you turn for your Orioles news and views, though we certainly hope our blogs are among your first stops (and a place you visit multiple times each day). That's one of the reasons why, in 2011, we started featuring guest bloggers on our site. We realized the blogosphere - or is that blog-O's-phere? - was full of die-hard fans of the orange and black who were cranking out reports and opinions on the Birds...

Sure sign of spring: Autograph event at Dempsey's

Sure sign of spring: Autograph event at Dempsey's
Weather got you down? Tired of snow, ice and cold? I can empathize. In fact, I've had to make due for the past two storms with a snow shovel that's about to give up the ghost. Home Depot and Lowe's act as if it's never snowed in Baltimore in March. And all those bulbs and fertilizer don't exactly do a good job of moving the white stuff. But spring is coming. I promise. And I'll bet I can make you feel like Orioles season is just a little bit closer. Dempsey's Brew Pub and Restaurant at...

O's team with Marie Selby Botanical Gardens for 2015 "Go Green" Day, green cap auction
St. Patrick's Day won't be the only reason to deck out in green if you're visiting Ed Smith Stadium when the Orioles play the Twins on March 17. The Orioles announced today that Marie Selby Botanical Gardens will be their partner for "Go Green" Day that day at the park in Sarasota, Fla. Selby Gardens, a world-renowned botanical research center and leader in environmental education, will benefit from an online auction of specially designed green O's caps autographed by players.

Throwback Thursday: Wieters' extra special walk-off

Throwback Thursday: Wieters' extra special walk-off
Today's the day! Spring training officially kicks off today in Sarasota. It's nice to have warm weather and Orioles baseball going on, even if it is hundreds of miles away from Baltimore. As camp gets under way, there are still questions that remain to be answered for the Birds. Near the top of the list: Will Matt Wieters be ready for opening day? Last season was short-lived for Wieters. He played in just 26 games before undergoing Tommy John surgery, but he made the most out of his time...

Orioles' partnership with Sarasota County proves valuable for both parties

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

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...

MASN's Mike Bordick recalls O's 1999 exhibition in Cuba

MASN's Mike Bordick recalls O's 1999 exhibition in Cuba
When President Barack Obama announced plans to normalize U.S. relations with Cuba in December, news broke less than two months later that the Orioles are among the teams interested in playing an exhibition game there this spring. This might all sound familiar for a reason. Sixteen years ago, after the United States lifted travel restrictions to Cuba, the Orioles played a home-and-home exhibition series with the Cuban national team, becoming the first major league team to play a game in the...

Henneman has lived the duration of "60 Years of Orioles Magic"

Henneman has lived the duration of "60 Years of Orioles Magic"
When the Orioles were seeking a writer to chronicle their first six decades in Baltimore, longtime journalist Jim Henneman was a logical choice, one found in their own backyard. The 79-year-old Henneman's lifetime practically mirrors the Orioles' tenure in Charm City. As a youth, he worked in the clubhouse at Oriole Park, home of the team during its Triple-A run from 1946-53. He attended the 1954 parade down Charles Street welcoming the former St. Louis Browns to their new roost, and was in...

Orioles continue to impact Sarasota community

Orioles continue to impact Sarasota community
While Orioles fans in the Baltimore area are counting down the days to sunny skies, warm weather and the return of baseball at Camden Yards, a huge flock of O's fans in Sarasota, Fla., is just days away from the return of their favorite team. Since moving their full-time spring training operations to Sarasota in 2010, the Orioles have been able to make a huge impact on the Florida community within the confines of Ed Smith Stadium - "Birdland South" - and beyond. Orioles spring training games...

Watch the Iron Man pick up his 3,000th hit on this week's "Orioles Classics"

Watch the Iron Man pick up his 3,000th hit on this week's "Orioles Classics"
Who doesn't love a little bit of history? On this week's "Orioles Classics," we've have two historic events for you to relive, including Cal Ripken Jr.'s 3,0000th hit. Here's what's on deck on MASN HD: Wednesday, Feb. 11, 12:30 p.m.: The start of the 1988 season was not kind to the Orioles. There's no way to tiptoe around an 0-21 start. The team did not earn their first win until April 29 at the Chicago against the White Sox. May 2, 1988 was the first time the Birds returned to...

Matthew Taylor: On life, baseball and near loss

Matthew Taylor: On life, baseball and near loss
As I writer, I know the advice: Avoid cliches. That means I shouldn't write about fathers and baseball any more than I already do, and I certainly shouldn't pull out the line from "Field of Dreams": "Hey dad, wanna have a catch?" I'm going to do both, and more, because as a writer I also understand that sometimes you have to break the rules. This is one of those times. My dad nearly died over the holidays. He went into cardiac arrest while participating in the Military Bowl parade as...
