A "save the date" isn't just for weddings. There's also the baseball winter version.

The Orioles announced today that their annual FanFest event will be held on Jan. 28, 2017 at the Baltimore Convention Center. Or exactly three months from today.

More information will become available later, including the list of players, coaches and former players in attendance and a breakdown of the autograph stations.

The event runs from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., but season plan holders will have access beginning at 10 a.m.

FanFest also includes clinics, exhibits and interactive games. Additional information also is forthcoming. But at least you can circle the date on your calendars.

Admittance to FanFest will be located at the Charles Street Lobby of the Baltimore Convention Center, located on the corner of Pratt and Charles streets. Fans will enter the event through the doors on Pratt Street. Will Call tickets can be picked up through the doors on Charles Street.

Last year's FanFest was held on Dec. 12, but it's back in its more traditional spot near the end of January. The crowd eclipsed 11,500, according to a team official.

We were introduced to reliever Vance Worley at last year's event. Who will be the next newbie?
