Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles doesn’t really get the opportunity to play in his hometown, save for a few isolated instances. Jones is from San Diego, which of course is a National League city. Occasionally the O’s will play there, but not often.
So in general he has to settle for playing as close to home as possible, and that would be this weekend when the Birds play their annual series in Orange County, CA against Anaheim. The two cities are approximately 96 miles apart. Again it’s not totally playing in his hometown, but certainly within his home region, so to speak.
