The pickup truck that Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph drives to work every day this spring stands out so much that when he pulled up to front gate of the Ed Smith Stadium complex for the first time last month, the attendants were hesitant to let him in.
The Orioles players' parking lot in Sarasota is filled with extravagant sports cars, expansive sports-utility vehicles and custom-made pickup trucks. So the dark green 2000 Mazda B2500 pickup truck that Joseph bought off Craigslist last month for $700 cash prompted several double takes in the early days of spring training.
