I don't think that would be appropriate on Valentine's Day.

Saw Springsteen for the first time in 1981.  Saw him play at a NJ club half a dozen times in the '80s. Sometimes I was so close I had to lean back not to get hit by his guitar.  Met my wife

He's not a youngster, but I'll bet he still packs the house.  I've never liked him since he left his wife and kid in Baltimore.  What a dick move.

Glad to know he is a lifelong fan of his hometown.

Orioles chairman and CEO John Angelos said in a statement that “as a lifelong fan of Bruce Springsteen and of my hometown, it’s an honor” to announce the concert.

Not everyone is a fan of their home town.

I just saw him in Orlando for the first time.  He really put on a great show.  I'm 61, and not really a huge Boss fan, but my best friend bought the tickets and came out from California and took my wife and I.  About 2 hours and 45 minutes.  Glad I saw it.  🙂

I'm moving close to 63.  I went to see the Foo Fighters a few years ago at Merriweather Post because I wanted to see them while they were still relevant and I was still able to stand up for 3 hours 🙂

Took my son to see the Police when they were at the Virgin Festival at Pimlico in '07 for much the same reason.

But, I couldn't imagine going to see the Stones (or another band from my youth) today, even though I wish like hell I'd at least seen them in the 70's or 80's.  If you can't get no satisfaction by the time you're 79 years old, you ain't never gettin' any.

He could be another threat on the basepaths.  He was born to run. 

 

On another note,  I would request he include my favorite song of his on his set list: The Ghost of Tom Joad.

What about the Rage Against the Machine version? Tom Morello has recorded stuff with Springsteen. Also did guitar once with E Street band on the Australian tour.

Didn't know the Orioles have an entertainment division. Premier entertainment venue? Three big concerts ever.

ABOUT ORIOLES ENTERTAINMENT: Since officially opening its doors on April 6, 1992, Oriole Park at Camden Yards has been one of the leading catalysts for year-round tourism and economic impact in Baltimore and Maryland. In recent years, Oriole Park has evolved into a premier entertainment venue, welcoming music lovers of all genres to concerts and events at the ballpark and driving more than 75 million visitors to Charm City and delivering more than $10 billion of economic impact. Orioles Entertainment hosted legendary acts in 2022 and 2019 and dozens of additional singers and songwriters over the last few seasons through the Birdland Summer Music Series.

Unless Van Zandt is going to break into a Silvio Dante monologue, I can’t imagine being less enthused for a concert.

He is playing at the new and improved Baltimore Arena now CFG Arena...

If you're gonna go old school, it's the Baltimore Civic Center.  Home of the Bullets.  Good thing they changed that name.  Crimes much better now.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      If we were to DH Kjerstad instead of O'Hearn it would be an entire starting 10 who had only played for the Orioles in their MLB career.   Wonder when the last time we ever had such a lineup (if ever).

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.
