Guest bloggers to return to MASNsports.com for 2012
Last season, MASNsports.com expanded its voice and added different viewpoints by welcoming guest bloggers to our site. The rationale was simple: There were so many dedicated fan sites out there that we wanted to give them a platform to share their thoughts, opinions and observations about the Orioles with the rest of Birdland. The initiative got rave reviews, in cyberspace and beyond. We must have hit on something, because our guest blogger program was quickly mimicked - by our competitors in...

MASNsports.com's Kubatko on panel at April 11 Sports Legends media roundtable
Think of the things that each year signal the arrival of spring - the first sighting of a robin, the jingling of the Good Humor truck's bells, the long line at the post office to drop off income taxes by the April 15 (or this year, April 16) deadline. Yes, there are certain, undeniable signs that spring has arrived in Charm City. Another comes Wednesday, April 11, from noon-1:30 p.m., when members of Baltimore's baseball media convene at Sports Legends Museum for their annual roundtable and...

Annual opening day block party continues at Sports Legends Museum
Opening day is always a celebration of sorts in Baltimore, as fans pack Camden Yards and revel in another season getting underway. But as has been the case the last 21 years, you have the opportunity to celebrate opening day with Orioles fans right outside the park even before the party inside Oriole Park begins. The Babe Ruth Birthplace Foundation is hosting their annual "Opening Day Block Party" again this season, complete with food, drink and plenty of O's fun. The event will be held...

O's set March 4 tryouts for ballgirls, ballboys
Ever watch the ballgirls or ballboys stationed along the outfield foul lines at Camden Yards make a nice grab of a foul fly or grounder and think, "Hey, I could do that!"? Well, now's your opportunity. Come Sunday, March 4, the Orioles will conduct an open tryout to field a new group of, er, ballpersons for 2012. The tryouts will occur - where else? - Camden Yards and will be judged by a panel of O's front office members and WBAL Radio sportscaster Keith Mills. Outgoing and athletic men...

Catch Camden Yards Classics countdown on MASN beginning Sunday

Orioles
Catch Camden Yards Classics countdown on MASN beginning Sunday
What's your favorite TV memory of the Orioles at Camden Yards? For me, it's watching Cal Ripken Jr. take a forced victory lap around a packed, appreciative ballpark on the night he played his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking the mark established by Yankees legend Lou Gehrig that was once believed to be unbreakable. Just typing about it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention, baseball's version of a Pavlovian response. As part of the celebration surrounding the 20th...

Tomorrow afternoon, the Orioles have invited 25 finalists to Camden Yards to audition for the opportunity to be the new public address announcer at the stadium. The new voice will replace Dave McGowan, the longtime PA announcer who announced in December that new job...

O's launch Web site dedicated to 20th anniversary of Camden Yards
It's hard to believe Camden Yards has been around since 1992. I can still recall driving past the construction site as the stadium rose where the B&O Railroad yards used to be, the protestations of politicians who insisted a downtown stadium was pure folly and my first glimpse of the new ballpark on a mid-winter's day when mini-plan holders were invited down to see where their new seats would be. Mine were in the upper deck in Section 324, three rows from the top of the stadium, looking...

MLB Network trivia challenge tests Moskowitz's "Baseball IQ" (updated)
Just a friendly word of warning to the next person who sidles up next to Jay Moskowitz at his friendly neighborhood tavern and tries to stump him with a trivia question, with the loser footing the night's bar tab: You run the risk of getting aced by someone whose trivia knowledge has been judged superior by none other an entity than the MLB Network. Moskowitz, who serves as the Orioles' coordinator of baseball information and is entering his sixth season with the club, was chosen as the...

O's announce changes to FanFest autograph lineup
The Orioles have announced some changes to the previously released autograph lineup for Saturday's FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center.

At ESSKAY Autograph Station 1, Pedro Strop and Joe Mahoney have replaced Bell and Swaggerty for the 11:20 a.m. session. At ESSKAY Autograph Station 2, fans can get signatures...

Advocates' Cardboard to Leather campaign benefits youths in Nicaragua, Puerto Rico
Any day now, a ship will chug into a port in Puerto Rico and a 40-foot container will be unloaded. Inside are items that will change the lives of kids who don't have the rudimentary basics to play baseball - balls, bats and gloves - that youths in the United States take for granted. Later this month, the scene will be repeated in Nicaragua. Last summer, another delivery was made to Mexico. Under the auspices of the Cardboard to Leather program started by the Oriole Advocates in 1992, generous...

You only turn 117 once - well, you would if you'd have lived that long - so that milestone calls for a celebration of Ruthian proportions.

Palmer's tearful memories of teammate named top 2011 sportscasting moment
We live in an era of television where today's great moment is tomorrow's distant memory. There's just too frequent a cycling of information and pictures for most broadcasts to burn a place in our consciousness. But according to SBNation, the most compelling television moment in sports during 2011 appeared on MASN's airwaves, where Orioles color commentator Jim Palmer didn't hide his emotions while discussing the shocking suicide death of former teammate Mike Flanagan, a fellow MASN...

Join MASNsports.com bloggers at Shorebirds' Jan. 28 Hot Stove Banquet
Back in the days before the Internet, Twitter and MLBTradeRumors.com, folks whiled away the winter months by sitting around and talking baseball. They didn't wait for the next day's newspaper, the 11 p.m. news or a few seconds of diamond discussion on the radio; they talked among themselves, shared opinions and engaged in meaningful dialogue. Taking a cue from this old-school approach, the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds have changed the format of their annual Hot Stove Banquet, which will be...
