The Trey Mancini Appreciation Thread

Awesome Oriole and it's a shame his tenure almost exactly coincided with our run of futility. 

His first and last home hits were both homers.

Maybe it's an editing thing, but it appears he got around the bases faster on HR 1 than the in-the-park HR. Gary even comments on how fast he moved on that one. 

 

You'll be missed, Trey. Good luck with Houston. And we'll get to see some more this year, actually.

The last link to the 2016 playoffs.  We will miss you Trey, now go and win a ring!

Trey, the best of luck to you.  I will be rooting for the Astros in the playoffs once the Orioles are eliminated!

Great guy and left OPACY the best way imaginable, with a homer on Mo day.

So awesome. 

Im glad he is getting a chance to win a ring.

He may be back though, don’t count out that possibility.

[Tony-OH]

I'm happy for him that he's going to a legitimate contender and that he brought back at least one potential legitimate starting pitching prospect on return.

He's a 1st class person and a guy who defied the odds of being an 8th round pick that became an All-Star (even if it was the HR derby). I hope he tears it up for Houston when he's not playing the Orioles.

Trey is a fine ballplayer and a class act.  We will miss him.   I wish him nothing but success going forward.

I will gladly continue to wear my Mancini t-shirt well into the playoffs.

I looked up to Trey because I had to deal with cancer as well in 2020, although not as severe.

Good luck in Houston Trey.

We had good fun watching him with Bowie in Harrisburg. The cancer struggles hit home. Was so glad he found the sweet and talented Sara to stand by him. What a touching, moving story his relationship with Mo was (which most reporters totally missed the significance of when he hit that HR last week).  I’m so glad this tenure ended in such a magical way and so glad he’s got a chance at postseason play and perhaps a WS ring.

Here’s a video I took of a bases-clearing triple from 2015, showing off that speed you mention.

Very cool tribute from MASN before the game for Trey. Palmer was a little choked up talking about him. Would be cool to see him back in the black and orange some day.

Love hearing Beth Mancini tell this story after Trey’s first big league hit , a home run.  Trey comes from a family of Os fans and will always be an O in our hearts

Very sad to see Mancini go, even though we saw it coming and knew it was bound to happen. I enjoyed watching him come up through the system, make a name for himself in Baltimore, overcome adversity, make a splash in the All-Star home run contest, and play his heart out. He is appreciated, and then some. All the best Trey!!!

Such a class act.

We're winning it all, playa!

With that said, thanks for the good times, AK-Trey! Good luck in Houston.
