Sunday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles set another dubious record

Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters. I hope everyone is having a pleasant Easter and Passover weekend. The Orioles themselves aren’t having a great time this weekend as they lost two games yesterday and blew the record for home runs allowed by May 1st to smithereens.

Before yesterday, the most home runs allowed by May 1st was 50, a record that belonged to the 1996 Detroit Tigers. The Tigers went 53-109 that year and over the entire season gave up 241 homers. Thanks to yesterday’s dinger parade, to date the Orioles have given up 57 home runs already.
