O's yearbooks are available now

The 2009 Orioles Yearbook is out already this season, and this year's is a good one. The gray "Baltimore" road jersey is pictured on the cover in front of the classic O's brick backdrop. Inside you'll find bios for the various members of the Orioles ownership and front office (Here's a fun fact you may or may not know: author Tom Clancy is actually the Vice Chairman of Community Projects and Public Affairs for the O's). Following the front office are pages for the manager, coaches and major league players, stats for some of the O's minor leaguers, broadcaster bios, pages for OriolesREACH and history and info about Camden Yards, and an A to Z fan guide to the ballpark. The player pages feature full-page photos, stats, and some of the fun Q&A's you've seen here in the Orioles Buzz before. Below are a few interesting, funny and/or surprising Q&A answers you'll find in the Yearbook: Matt Albers: I wouldn't ___root for the Yankees___ for any amount of money.
