Orioles introduce family-friendly, affordable concessions lineup

March 28, 2018, 12:33pm

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 to honor UMBC men's basketball team's historic upset on UMBC Pride Night

March 26, 2018, 11:32am

Orioles

There's a reason why the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is also called March Madness. Every year, the tournament is filled with crazy and unexpected upsets. Top seeds struggle to get through their own regions, No. 5 seeds dread their first-round matchups against the No. 12 seeds and national powerhouses get eliminated by mid-major schools. Some would argue it's the best sporting event there is, and if you've been paying attention the last few weeks, you'll know that this year's edition...

For both Army and Navy, "an incredible experience" at Camden Yards

For both Army and Navy, "an incredible experience" at Camden Yards

The first flakes fluttered from the sky late in the sixth inning of the opening game of Sunday's doubleheader between Army West Point and Navy at Camden Yards. They floated and danced from the clouds, but barely had any effect on what was happening on the field between two rival service academies. Within minutes, however, the ballpark was engulfed in a full-fledged snow squall. And as Navy took the field for the top of the seventh, the umpires huddled as fans strained to see warm-up pitches...

Annual "Go Green" auction to feature caps, bases from St. Patrick's Day game

You already know that Saturday, March 17 is St. Patrick's Day, which is reserved for the wearing of the green. It's the one day when the Orioles divert from their typical orange-and-black color scheme to don green caps for the only time during spring training. But you won't want to miss the bidding on the green in the club's annual "Go Green" auction to benefit Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Orioles players and coaches will wear specially designed green caps when the Orioles...

LOCASH headlines charity concert at Ed Smith Stadium

Who says the end of spring training needs to be a sad time? Yes, the ending of camp means the regular season is about to start. But after training, playing and living in an area for over a month, it can be a little bittersweet to leave your spring home for your regular season home. That can be especially said for the Orioles, who have made a longstanding commitment to the Greater Sarasota community since they moved their big league spring training operations there in 2010. So it's no surprise...

Orioles to host Army-Navy doubleheader, play 2019 exhibition game in Annapolis

It's widely considered that the rivalry between our nation's military and naval academies is the greatest in all of American sports. And while that rivarly is mostly associated with the annual Army-Navy football game, don't think that it doesn't carry over into other sports (or just about anything, for that matter). How cool is it that we have the Naval Academy right in our backyard in historic Annapolis and get to witness this rivalry firsthand year-round? Now that rivalry is being brought...

If you make the trip down south for spring training and drive around downtown Sarasota, Fla,, you would wonder if you ever left Baltimore. The lamp posts that line the sidewalks down Main Street are draped in Birdland banners and the people walking around are dressed in orange and black. If you head over to the Ed Smith Stadium complex, you'll find Orioles fans lined up at the crack of dawn to catch a glimpse of their favorite players. The Orioles have made quite the little community in...

Furthering the special connection between music and the national pastime, the Orioles will host the third annual Nashville's Music Row Comes to the Ballpark - a one-of-a-kind,...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Machado's second walk-off of homestand gives O's win over A's

Our first Throwback Thursday moment of this offseason came all they way back on Nov. 2, when we highlighted Manny Machado's three-homer night capped off by a walk-off grand slam against the Angels. Well, for this weeks' #TBT moment, we're going back to the end of that very same homestand. After Machado opened the six-game stand at Camden Yards with the walk-off slam, he closed it with another walk-off home run against the Athletics. After having lost three of their previous four games,...
