Wednesday night’s out-of-nowhere great start by Ubaldo Jimenez was met with an equally out-of-nowhere revival of a recent Orioles tradition. Following the game, while Jimenez spoke to the MASN crew about his game, the interview was briefly interrupted by Adam Jones, who delivered a pie or some other kind of dessert to the face of Jimenez.
The post-game pie, after becoming such a staple during the 2014 AL East title season, has been out of favor. The reason for this has never been satisfactorily articulated to fans who enjoyed the ritual. One offered explanation was to avoid some kind of possible freak injury resulting from the shenanigans.
