We had the opportunity to take in an Orioles game while we were in Baltimore and we got to visit the famed Camden Yards. I have been slowly attempting to work in visits to Major League ballparks when we travel to a Major League town, so I was glad to see that the Orioles had a home game while we were there. Even better, it was a home game against the Yankees. Now, I like the Orioles all right, so I would have cheered for them anyway, as long as they weren't playing the Braves. I hate the Yankees, however, so this makes it all the more fun to go to this particular game.
Little did I know that, heading into this game, the Orioles had lost 10 in a row to the despicable Yankees. I did know that the O's record was in the neighborhood of 16-36. The park was maybe 3/4 full, and probably half in attendance were Yankee fans. Jake Arrieta started the game to make his major league debut and performed well. He pitched his way out of a jam in the 6th and came away with the win. All in all, it was a good game in great weather in a nice ballpark. And the Yankees lost. What more could you ask for in a baseball game?
