Hello, friends.
There are now three months and five days until Orioles Opening Day 2025. Two months from today marks the first scheduled exhibition game in the Grapefruit League schedule for the O’s.
The baseball world is in mourning today after yesterday’s announcement of the death of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson. Even within the circle of Hall-worthy guys, it’s not every one where you can say they’re uniquely great among everyone who’s ever played MLB. Henderson’s career marks are almost unbelievable, a career OBP of .401, 1,406 stolen bases (the all-time leader, and he’s the same with 2,295 runs scored), 25 years in the league, an MVP, it goes on and on.
