This afternoon the sparks fly for real when Chris Tillman takes to the mound for the Baltimore Orioles. They’ll take on Minnesota on Opening Day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. For what it’s worth, there’s a 60-70% chance of rain in Baltimore from 3 PM (first pitch time) onward this afternoon. But that’s why they build in tomorrow as an off day.
Opening Day in Baltimore is always a special day – regardless of the outlook for the home team that year. Pickles and Sliders are always packed from the morning onward across from the ballpark, and it’s one of the most festive atmospheres in sports.
