See ya Friday

Here are some of the pregame festivities the
Orioles announced for Friday’s home opener at Camden Yards.

*Ceremonial first pitches will be thrown by
former Oriole greats Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell. This year marks the
Orioles’ 40th anniversary of their 1970 World Championship, where Robinson was
the World Series MVP and Powell was AL MVP.

*Opera tenor Richard Troxell will sing the
national anthem for the seventh time on Camden Yards’ Opening Day. Troxell is ,
a Thurmont, Md. Native.

*Want to know about the swag? Fans attending
the sold out game will receive a schedule/car magnet.

*Fans are encouraged to be in their seat at
2:30 p.m. ET, which is when the pregame festivities are expected to start.

*And to touch on one of my favorite parts
about this job: ballpark fare.
