Thoughts on the Peter Angelos-Davey Johnson relationship

2012-04-30 03:00:00

There is no Red Sox- or Cubs-style curse on the Orioles – nothing involving Babe Ruth, “No, No, Nanette” or a malodorous goat. At least not that I know of. But we all know the Orioles haven’t won since 1997. That sure was an...

Frank Robinson 'taken aback, really,' by statue

2012-04-28 17:12:00

2012-04-02 11:19:00

It is always difficult to write about fans. Well, that is not true. It's actually very easy to write about individual fans. They have wonderful, meaningful memories of how they fell in love with a team. They speak eloquently about what their favorite...

The Adam Jones/fan kerfuffle, and what we can expect from those we root for

2012-04-09 14:00:00

Adam Jones, the always-opinionated center fielder for the Orioles, gave a bizarrely cantankerous interview to a few reporters last week. What he said became a little kerfuffle on the eve of the Orioles opening their quest for their first .500 or better...

What's next in the evolution of Camden Yards?

2012-04-10 08:45:00

Last week, amid the buzz over another opening day and the celebration of Camden Yards' 20th birthday, I reported a story on the future of baseball parks. Though the topic was assigned to me, it had special resonance because I essentially grew up in a...
