If the Orioles' current power surge — in which they've continued to bludgeon opponents with home run balls in unfavorable weather conditions — follows the blueprint of most seasons, it spells good fortunes for the club's offense when the temperatures rise.
This isn't the time of the year that teams are usually able to hit this many home runs. That's for the summer time, when baseballs carry through the light, humid air.
Still, the cold and rain have followed the Orioles through the first 5 1/2 weeks of the season, and they're still leading the American League with 49 homers in 32 games.
