None other than Lew Ford replaces him in the field.

After Melvin Mora left following the 2009 season, Reimold became my favorite Oriole.

I was in the right-field bleachers for his first career home run ever, a moon-shot off of Mariano Rivera to straightaway centerfield at Yankee Stadium.

He is the only player ever to hit his first career home run off of Rivera.

Reimold has a lawsuit going against Hopkins for clearing him to come back too soon after a neck surgery. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/bs-md-reimold-lawsuit-johns-hopkins-20150414-story.html   

Makes me feel kinda bad for the guy.

Best of luck to Nolan. It's a shame how a promising career was derailed by a series of injuries, but he had his moments in the bigs, which is obviously more than most can say.

I'll always remember the double he hit in "Game 162" to set up the Andino winning hit vs. Bosox. 

Not sure if this was his last HR, but it was probably his last meaningful one. Was the walk-off on a Sunday afternoon vs. Indians at OPACY last year. I had the cam rolling.

I think he made a good decision to call it a career.     He had some good moments as an Oriole.   Best of luck to him in whatever comes next.

A shame he got so many injuries, he would have been a good player.  Best of luck Nolan in your future endeavors.
