FREE TICKETS IN 2009!!

It's already March, which means another baseball season is around the corner. I know it is a little early to be talking about how many games under .500 the Orioles will be, but lets face it, nothing else interesting is happening. I could talk about how Lebron once again put up 35 points, an effortless 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. BORING!

It's always new and exciting to think how well your home team will be this season. With high hopes, young players, and a better pitching staff the Orioles actually have a shot of reaching a winning record. However, as long as we are in the same division with the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays then we will never make the playoffs. Eleven straight losing seasons can really crush your soul and dignity as a baseball fan. But, every April is the start of a brand new season and anything can happen. It's up to the fans to really bring enthusiasm and excitement into a fresh, new team.

Fans are already raving about how the organization changed the away jersey's to read: Baltimore. This is the first time since the 1970's that the Orioles have represented Baltimore on their uniforms. The fans have been wanting this for over 30 years, and they finally got it. It says, "We are from Baltimore, don't forget it." We are not just the Orioles, we are The Baltimore Orioles. It is little changes like this that really make the fans feel as though this will be a great season, and the beginning of something great. If the Rays can take the Devil out of their name, and then reach the World Series, then we can add Baltimore and do the same thing.

Lately it has all been about the fans. The Baltimore Orioles public relations field have finally been coming up with new ways to get the fans more involved in their home team. They want to draw larger crowds and put Baltimore back on the map as one of the greatest sports cities in America. This season they are trying something new. The Baltimore Orioles invite all fans to attend a game in 2009 FOR FREE!!! They are inviting all baseball fans to celebrate their birthdays at Orioles Park and attend a game for free in 2009. All additional information is listed on the Baltimore Orioles Press Release.

I am so glad the Orioles are finally doing something to bring Baltimore back. With the growing problems of the economy it is hard for fans to attend sporting events because the ticket prices are sky high. I think this is a brilliant idea on the Oriole's part. This will bring in more fans, more enthusiasm, and more excitement to a fresh, new team. I have a feeling this is the start of something great for the city, and the organization. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
