With no fans in the stands, the Baltimore Orioles broadcasts matter, and adding a female voice is good for baseball.
With Melanie Newman on the Baltimore Orioles Radio Network, the team gives a major nod to a large group of its fans. Women love baseball, but have very little representation around the field.
Newman made her Orioles debut after being involved in several other MLB farm team broadcasters.
