Tuesday Bird Droppings: Where it’s Brooks Robinson’s birthday

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Yesterday was a slow day in Birdland. The Orioles were off, enjoying their last open date until June 3, and with Monday being a universal off day for nearly all minor league teams this season, we didn’t have any O’s prospects to check in on, either. Tonight, all teams are back in action, with the Birds hosting the Rays to begin an uninterrupted 16-day stretch of games while each of their affiliates kick off their next six-game series (including the home openers for Triple-A Norfolk and High-A Aberdeen).

In the meantime, let’s all wish a very happy 84th birthday to a Baltimore sports legend and the second best Oriole of all time, Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson.
