Opening Day, with its pomp and ceremony, holds a significant place in the minds of both the players and the fans who fill the stadium to mark the beginning of the season. And on this year's Orioles team, there are a lot more players who will be experiencing it at the major league level for the first time than years past.
On Thursday, 10 of the 25 Orioles in uniform at Yankee Stadium for the 1:05 p.m. first pitch will be taking part in their first major league Opening Day, a milestone in every young ballplayers' life that none will take for granted.
