Leave a comment

The Bowie Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, recently invited Marcus Smith Jr. and his family to participate in on field activities including the line up card exchange prior to their recent game against the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Little did Smith know that he would soon be reunited with his father at home plate. Smith Sr. a returning Marine dressed up as an umpire and surprised his son. Very cool video.

Billy Rowell Apparently Didn’t Care Too Much For The Way He Was Handled By The Orioles In 2011

Leave a comment

This is one of the more candid interviews you will ever see a minor leaguer give. Billy Rowell, the ninth overall pick of the 2006 draft, who has only played 41 games above High-A during his six year career, spoke with MASN’s Steve Melewski: @masnSteve, and pulled no punches on the way he felt the Baltimore Orioles handled him this past season. It’s a wild read and one that is sure to raise the eyebrows of the Orioles front office.

After another tough season, Billy Rowell has a few things to say — MASNSports.com
