Hello, friends.
There are now 53 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. In uniform number terms, that’s Zack Britton days to go until real baseball is back. The number 53 is currently worn by Mike Baumann, who is a bit less interesting of a 53. However, more fun is that we’re down to just ten days until pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota to begin spring training.
Normally, I’m not very excited for the start of spring training. I think it’s pretty boring. There’s two days where it’s novel to see all of the pictures of workouts and videos of bullpen sessions and then I’m impatient for the season to start because nothing interesting will happen for six weeks.
