[25% Capacity 11,000 fans for Opening Day 2021]

I'm fine with it!  I just want to go to some games this season!  Hoping to go to the May 8th one mainly, as the traditional trip to Baltimore with my brother!

When a policy changes and someone is grandfathered in with the older policy, what if that person is already a grandfather?

I wonder what will happen to the discs in our backs if we're moving away from physical media and more digital?

Today I've got The Dropkick Murphys "Singles Collection" playing in my office. You can hear the evolution from a Clash sound to integrating more Celtic flavor in their music.

I'll have to get the second volume of the collection for tomorrow to play!

Cole and Heidi Hamels adopted an Ethiopian child. If she doesn't eat her veggies, the "There are children in Ethopia who would love to have that" won't work...

[Why (and When) did You Become an Oriole Fan ???]

I would say I started to become a fan in 1991. Of course, being in Philadelphia, my first real awareness of the O's was in 1983!

But, in 1991, I was driving for about a year then, and able to go to all kinds of places I wanted to visit. My oldest brother, who had been to NY and Baltimore for games before, had asked if I was interested in seeing an O's game, since Memorial was in it's last year.

So, we drove down. My impressions of the park were just what I wanted from a baseball experience: a ballpark in a neighborhood (I really loved the setting there - some streets with houses and then there it was!) as opposed to the Vet, which was a stadium in a sea of parking spots, warehouses and highways, plus the people were really friendly! I don't really remember encountering a single rude person at any concession stand I visited that game!

It started then, and my Orioles fandom was hit home later that year when I met Brooks Robinson at a baseball card show. Need I say anymore?

The next season, due to an office of my company being in Baltimore, we lucked into tickets for Opening Day in OPACY. I went that day, and realized that was where I would want to be to enjoy baseball the way it should be.
