Friday Bird Droppings: Where we’re building an all-time, all-Maryland roster

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Another day has passed with the Orioles — and most of MLB, frankly — making no offseason news. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find ourselves crawling down a baseball rabbit hole to pass the time.

MLB.com’s Orioles beat writer, Joe Trezza, compiled a list of every Maryland native to play for the Orioles. There have been enough of them that you could build a full O’s roster of Maryland-born players...although, frankly, it wouldn’t be a good team. There are a couple of Hall of Famers in Cal Ripken Jr. and Harold Baines, along with very good players like Brady Anderson and Steve Barber, but most of the names on the list had forgettable and/or unsuccessful O’s careers.
