Baltimore #Orioles star Ken Singleton hits a HR vs. Cincinnati #Reds pitcher Tom Seaver at the 1981 Major League All-Star Game in Cleveland!
~ Happy 79th Birthday Ken Singleton! ⚾️ #MLB#Baseball#History
What a difference a week makes. Team is back to hitting poorly with RISP. Heard a lot about accountability on the timeline, that includes everyone especially players.
Another gutting loss with several 50/50 calls going against the O’s. Clutch hitting is spotty. Gunnar needs to get a big hit this season. One. Frustrating.
The Orioles place plaques on the street outside right field for every home run that lands there 😮⚾
Eutaw Street features dozens of bronze discs that mark all of the homers that have landed there in Oriole Park history - all 134 of them
The spot is carefully marked when a homer lands there, then plaques are created after the season and laid out the following spring
A critical ruling on Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement running out of the base path in the Orioles’ 6-4 loss on Sunday was made in error.

Crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt and 2B umpire Nic Lentz explained the Ernie Clement call to a pool reporter and said Gunnar Henderson was still in the act of fielding when Clement established his wide base path.
“It was actually a very gentlemanly thing to do,” said Wendelstedt.
@JakeDRill@KenWeinmanSport I appreciated Alby making the point on Holliday’s play. He should have pressed and got ejected. He evaded the tag by running towards center.
2nd-base umpire Nic Lentz to a pool reporter:
“The runner has a right to establish his basepath. And so, Clement had established his basepath to avoid the fielder from potential interference. And even though that Henderson reached out for a tag, Clement’s basepath was already established out there going to 2nd base. So therefore, it was not out of the baseline.”
