Catch Camden Yards Classics countdown on MASN beginning Sunday

Catch Camden Yards Classics countdown on MASN beginning Sunday
What's your favorite TV memory of the Orioles at Camden Yards? For me, it's watching Cal Ripken Jr. take a forced victory lap around a packed, appreciative ballpark on the night he played his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking the mark established by Yankees legend Lou Gehrig that was once believed to be unbreakable. Just typing about it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention, baseball's version of a Pavlovian response. As part of the celebration surrounding the 20th...

O's launch Web site dedicated to 20th anniversary of Camden Yards

O's launch Web site dedicated to 20th anniversary of Camden Yards
It's hard to believe Camden Yards has been around since 1992. I can still recall driving past the construction site as the stadium rose where the B&O Railroad yards used to be, the protestations of politicians who insisted a downtown stadium was pure folly and my first glimpse of the new ballpark on a mid-winter's day when mini-plan holders were invited down to see where their new seats would be. Mine were in the upper deck in Section 324, three rows from the top of the stadium, looking...

O's announce changes to FanFest autograph lineup
The Orioles have announced some changes to the previously released autograph lineup for Saturday's FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Advocates' Cardboard to Leather campaign benefits youths in Nicaragua, Puerto Rico

Advocates' Cardboard to Leather campaign benefits youths in Nicaragua, Puerto Rico
Any day now, a ship will chug into a port in Puerto Rico and a 40-foot container will be unloaded. Inside are items that will change the lives of kids who don't have the rudimentary basics to play baseball - balls, bats and gloves - that youths in the United States take for granted. Later this month, the scene will be repeated in Nicaragua. Last summer, another delivery was made to Mexico. Under the auspices of the Cardboard to Leather program started by the Oriole Advocates in 1992, generous...

Celebrate Babe Ruth's 117th birthday at Sports Legends on Feb. 10
You only turn 117 once - well, you would if you'd have lived that long - so that milestone calls for a celebration of Ruthian proportions.

Palmer's tearful memories of teammate named top 2011 sportscasting moment

Palmer's tearful memories of teammate named top 2011 sportscasting moment
We live in an era of television where today's great moment is tomorrow's distant memory. There's just too frequent a cycling of information and pictures for most broadcasts to burn a place in our consciousness. But according to SBNation, the most compelling television moment in sports during 2011 appeared on MASN's airwaves, where Orioles color commentator Jim Palmer didn't hide his emotions while discussing the shocking suicide death of former teammate Mike Flanagan, a fellow MASN...

Join MASNsports.com bloggers at Shorebirds' Jan. 28 Hot Stove Banquet
Back in the days before the Internet, Twitter and MLBTradeRumors.com, folks whiled away the winter months by sitting around and talking baseball. They didn't wait for the next day's newspaper, the 11 p.m. news or a few seconds of diamond discussion on the radio; they talked among themselves, shared opinions and engaged in meaningful dialogue. Taking a cue from this old-school approach, the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds have changed the format of their annual Hot Stove Banquet, which will be...

As promised, Brooks Robinson has visited bronze likeness

As promised, Brooks Robinson has visited bronze likeness
DALLAS - Back in October, when he was overcome with emotion at the unveiling of a nine-foot bronze statue of himself on a plaza between Russell Street and Washington Boulevard that now bears his name, Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson told reporters that he planned to sneak back and take a look at his likeness when all the hubbub died down. Fat chance, right? Like Robinson could quietly walk around the slab of concrete outside Pickles Pub and not be noticed? He's a Baltimore deity,...
