Hello, friends.
There are now 38 days remaining until the next Orioles game. Just five days stand between now and the first exhibition game of the year. Baseball is coming back.
It’s been 27 days since Mike Mussina, the greatest Orioles pitcher of my lifetime, was elected to the Hall of Fame. The team has still not announced any plans for a jersey retirement or statue.
Over the weekend, the full Orioles squad reported to camp. Today is the first workout with the whole team, although a number of players had arrived early and taken some early batting practice.
