There’s a grease board in the press box at Camden Yards that has the day’s lineups and game information on it, and the tradition is to not change it after the last game until the next year’s home opener.
Since the press box staff wasn’t back this year to change it, that board still has the lineups of the 2019 home finale listed — a quick, 2-1 Orioles win over the Seattle Mariners that also featured a good start by John Means, much like Sunday’s victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
There was no way to predict that the next time the Orioles gathered there would be for summer camp, or that the ballpark would have to be empty when they were able to start finally playing games in July.
