One thing that I can always count on receiving as a Christmas gift is an Orioles calendar for the coming new year. Maybe you also have a relative like this. They know you are an Orioles fan and they think everyone needs a calendar and won’t buy one for themselves, so that’s an easy one that can probably be found at a mall kiosk, for anyone who’s still near to a thriving mall.
The annual Orioles calendar is in its own way a sign of the improved fortunes of the team. With twelve months of the year, there are twelve players who get featured photos for a month.
