O's fan bringing bone marrow donor nights to IronBirds, Keys

O's fan bringing bone marrow donor nights to IronBirds, Keys
Michael Mister, an Orioles fan living in Bellefonte, Pa., is using his love of baseball and penchant for attending minor league games to help those battling leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening blood cancers that require bone marrow transplants. When Mister found out that Lynn Marie McManus of Greensboro, N.C., the wife of his former Marine Corps buddy Jim McManus, was stricken with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant, he wanted to help. Lynn Marie had been in and out of the ...

Throwback Thursday: Power, power, power

Throwback Thursday: Power, power, power
Last season, the O's led the majors with 212 home runs. Only 36 of those blasts came off the bats of players no longer in the Orioles organization, leaving them with plenty of power returning to the lineup for 2014. In fact, with the addition of Nelson Cruz, the Orioles arguably have a more power-packed lineup than last season. Cruz is coming off of a 27-homer season (in 109 games played) for the Rangers. This week, I'm throwin' it back to an Orioles' four-homer game against the Red...

From selfies to signings: How did we get here?

From selfies to signings: How did we get here?
Less than two weeks ago, everyone was buzzing when Korean pitcher Suk-min Yoon tweeted a selfie of himself in an Orioles hat. That late night photo feels like it happened ages ago. Let's recap how we got here, shall we? At the time, the Orioles still had not made a big offseason move, leaving the Baltimore fan base frustrated as the O's began spring training. A few days later, the Orioles officially announced a three-year, $5.575 million deal with Yoon, but national writers were already...

Yard Work: Restocking grounds crew is an annual offseason process

Yard Work: Restocking grounds crew is an annual offseason process
Camden Yards is a gem, a rare baseball cathedral that blends classic, retro style with today's version of the national pastime. But its lush outfield grass and manicured infield don't happen by accident. They're the result of a year-round effort by head groundskeeper Nicole McFadyen and her talented grounds crew. Each month during this offseason, Orioles Buzz will check in with McFadyen to see what's happening on the field at Camden Yards as the grounds crew prepares for the 2014...

Weekly Wrap: A week to remember

Weekly Wrap: A week to remember
What a week. After the media and fans spent most of the offseason speculating about how inactive the Orioles were, they had so much to talk about with the addition of two new pitchers this week. Suk-min Yoon was introduced to the media Tuesday. While Yoon was a likely starter for the Orioles, news broke just a few hours after Yoon was announced that has potential to send him to the bullpen. Proven starter Ubaldo Jimenez signed with the Orioles, giving the O's a top-of-the-rotation guy and...

Jimenez's demeanor: a little shy, but confident and focused

Jimenez's demeanor: a little shy, but confident and focused
If you thought new Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez looked a little overwhelmed by all the attention at his introductory press conference this morning, you might be interested in the reason why. During his time with the Rockies, I dealt with Jimenez a couple of times while freelancing for MLB.com. I found him to be a confident, intuitive player, though one who was a little on the shy side. In my experience, he's a guy who cares more about pitching well, helping his team and being a good...

Fan creates Wear Orange Wednesdays to unify Orioles supporters
Head to Camden Yards for a packed night game, and you'll see the stands flooded with a sea of orange and know that you are are surrounded by thousands of Orioles fans. Nancy Cook, creator of Wear Orange Wednesdays, wants to create that sense of community and Orioles pride away from the stadium. She started the grassroots campaign toward the beginning of the 2012 season. Cook said that she selected Wednesday for a specific reason. "I came up with the idea.

Weekly Wrap: Baseball's back

Weekly Wrap: Baseball's back
Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Baseball is back. All is right in the world. Well, almost. Maybe we could do something with all of that snow. Before the start of spring training, there was still a lot of buzz surrounding the Orioles' organization. And it all started with a selfie. (Never thought I'd write that.) On Tuesday, Korean pitcher Suk-min Yoon tweeted a picture of himself wearing an Orioles hat. Although there had been rumors linking the O's and the pitcher, no deal had...

Let It snow: O's fans support team in snowstorm

Let It snow: O's fans support team in snowstorm
I don't know about you, but I am over winter weather. Maybe it has something to do with the foot of snow that's outside my house. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm ready for summer nights at Camden Yards. It's both. Anyway, while I was waiting for warmer weather, a lot of Orioles fans were out embracing the snow. A huge thanks to MASN Orioles fans who submitted their snow pictures on Twitter and Instagram. If you also created an O's-themed snowman, be sure to tweet or Instagram...

Throwback Thursday: The first of many to come

Throwback Thursday: The first of many to come
While we sit here and bear the snowstorm of the year, pitchers and catchers are reporting to Sarasota, Fla., to mark the first day of spring training. Among those reporting today is right-hander Kevin Gausman. Seen as one of the Orioles' top prospects, Gausman spent 2013 jumping between Triple-A and the big leagues, where he made 20 appearances for Baltimore. In his sixth appearance, Gausman entered in relief with the O's down 3-0 in the third inning against the Yankees. With Gausman...

#FeelGoodFriday: MASN showcasing inspiring sports stories

#FeelGoodFriday: MASN showcasing inspiring sports stories
There are so many reasons why I love sports. Growing up, playing sports was such an amazing experience, teaching me the meaning of teamwork and bringing me so many friends. Then, as I grew out of playing sports every day, I realized how strong of an impact watching sports can have on a person's life. While athletes' drive, determination and talent are inspirational on their own, often the most uplifting stories come from off the field. From personal experience and from my time around...

Peterson honored with Dr. James Andrews Award

Peterson honored with Dr. James Andrews Award
If you thought all the offseason baseball hardware had been handed out, think again. Earlier this week, Orioles director of pitching development Rick Peterson was honored with the Dr. James R. Andrews, M.D. Award for Excellence in Baseball Sports Medicine. Peterson's connection to Dr. Andrews, the renowned orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert, dates to 1989, when Peterson was with the White Sox organization and served as pitching coach with the Double-A Birmingham Barons....

Throwback Thursday: A night of firsts

Throwback Thursday: A night of firsts
On September 25, 2013, Buck Showalter started Jonathan Schoop at second base, setting him up to play in his first major league game. In his first at-bat of his career, Schoop connected for a line drive up the middle, giving him his first major league hit. Later in the game, Schoop hit another shot up the middle, but this time it left the yard for his first career home run. After a night packed with firsts, Adam Jones took it upon himself to add to the list by delivering Schoop's first pie...
