Last night, I got home from taking in a college baseball game at my alma mater and because there’s no such thing as too much baseball, I fired up MLB.TV and found the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks squaring off in some Cactus League action. Former beloved Baltimore Orioles Manny Machado donning his SD blue and Adam Jones in his brand new Diamondback threads.
I had a moment and turned to my wife, who immediately said “I know. You wish they were still with the Orioles.” She was right. I didn’t agree with all of Machado’s actions but I always loved his swagger on the field and I can’t say enough positive things about what Adam Jones meant to the Orioles, the city of Baltimore, and what he means to baseball.
