Photobombing before photobombing was even a thing

Photobombing before photobombing was even a thing
The Orioles took their 2015 team photo the other day, positioning the members of this year's club in gleaming home whites on chairs and risers in front of the right field scoreboard before Monday's finale of a four-game series against the A's. I can't see a team photo - the year and team really don't matter - without thinking about the first time I was credentialed to cover an Orioles game. It happened back in 1980. No, the bitterness over losing the 1979 World Series still hadn't...

Most of the Shorebirds are escaping the sweltering 88-degree heat by seeking refuge in the air-conditioned clubhouse, though a few guys clad in shorts are whizzing a Nerf Vortex football in left field, oblivious to the blazing sun. Beneath...
