Jim and Suellen McGovern loved being Camden Yards regulars. For 20 years, they proudly flaunted their Sunday ticket package, much as they did the Orioles Hawaiian shirts they wore to the Carolina League All-Star Classic in Frederick last week.
“Sunday home games, we were there for all of ’em,” said Jim, 70.
“Club seats, section 218,” said Suellen, 71.
The Mount Airy residents had the package again last season, but Jim’s aorta replacement surgery kept them from making it to any games as the Orioles suffered through a franchise-worst 115 losses.
Jim’s health and all the losing have kept the McGoverns away from Oriole Park this year as well.
