Christmas in July

The Orioles PR department has announced that a vendor error will delay the arrival of the replica Brooks Robinson jerseys promised on the promotions schedule on July 17. But rather than simply giving fans a raincheck, the O's will compensate the inconvenience to fans by giving away Brooks Robinson...

Instead, the late inning relievers got up early and braved the heat to teach nearly 100 children from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington about baseball and healthy lifestyles. "You get to hopefully teach these kids something that will affect them for the rest of their lives," said Matt Capps. "Kids are...
