The Baltimore Orioles are summoning Hall of Famer Eddie Murray to join current players — and a masked Oriole Bird — in a high-profile “Take One for the Team” campaign encouraging people to get the coronavirus vaccine.
Fans attending Thursday’s home opener will spot prominent signs inside Camden Yards featuring the mascot and reading: “Take One for the Team. Get the Vaccine.” The broadcast of the game against the Boston Red Sox will show similar electronic messaging on the stadium’s warehouse wall.
Murray, 65, is recording a few radio spots — one of which invokes his affection for the city in which he began his 21-year major league career and then played 12 seasons here.
