Curses a fair amount.  :D

Also apparently not a fan of Mike Elias not hiring him.  Too funny.

Cool experience. 

Good friend of mine was in a golf tourney with him last year..played in his 4some.

He said he cussed the whole round and was a pretty funny guy.

Literally never met a guy who curses more and I spent 20 years in the Army! :D

Cool dude though. I've enjoyed my conversations with him back in the day.

Cool! I used to play baseball against his son in  little league and then also in HS. Son was a good player, I think he went on to play college ball somewhere. 

You do know his son Steven played in the Orioles system for a few years, right?

Steve Bumbry played at Virginia Tech.   I saw him a few times, including once when VT was playing at Maryland at College Park.   Al was sitting a few rows away with a friend watching his son play.   I didn't bother him.

And I think he wound up in the Orioles organization for a little while.

I met Al Bumbry a long time ago when I was a kid. He didn't curse and now I'm disappointed. 

Same here.  He signed my first glove.  Met him and the Orioles Bird while he was in a cast for his broken leg (Bumbry, not the Bird).  I was a little kid and was in awe.

Would love to hear him in the booth!  Especially now! :)

Met him and got an autograph at a YMCA / little league event when I was a kid.  He was my favorite Oriole, so it was very exciting.

He's on Wall To Wall baseball with Tom Davis fairly often. Still an Oriole thru and thru.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      It’s called venting, montezuma’s revenge-o.

      It did look like they already have their game legs back--maybe in time to make that dream come true. I live in Brooklyn and it's going to be a challenge to hold my place and my lip in the sports bars over the next three days (unless I go to one filled with Mets fans who are just letting one screen tune into the game in the Bronx).

      Adley was 2022, not sure if Gunnar was 2022 or 2023, I think he was also 2022.

      Oh, I thought you were taking about his hitting in high leverage situations.

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
