50 Millionth Oriole Fan is a Camden Chatter

which I feel deserves front page attention.

the 50 Millionth fan was our very own kevgracie!

Here’s what he wrote on the “Who’s Who?”

Who I Are?

Kevin 24 m, born in catonsville (birth-10 yo), live in ellicott city, 2nd year law student at UB
Went to Mt. Hebron High school, York college undergrad,
I have worked as mgr, asst. mgr. and currently simply a valet attendant at arundel mills mall valet in front of Muvico- feel free to come by on wknds, more than happy to give the hook up to fellow Os fans!
I play flag football in canton, softball in a summer law firm league, lacrosse for UB, and any other athletics I have the time to do

And here is his profile!

Congrats to Kevin! If it couldn’t be me I’m glad it’s a Camden Chatter!

Kevin's profile says he joined in the March, but that was just the new site rollout. He has postings that go all the way back to last June!

Well DONE, sir. Well done indeed!

All Camden Chatters thank you for representin', and for not being a member of PHN.

as soon as I saw 24, Ellicott City, it rung a bell. but i figured the chances were slim it was the same guy and i was too lazy to search through my own who’s who topic (thanks for finding that stacey). Congrats to you, man! Now, if you wanna share the love with CC to show your passion for the site (tickets, for example), I think we would humbly accept.

It's funny

I probably wouldn’t have remembered either (no offense kevgracie!) but yesterday at work I was reading through the Who’s Who thread because I was bored so it was fresh in my mind.

thanks to everyone!

I appreciate all the congrats
I just hope no one hates on me for my not so great interview w/ palmer and hunter, or my horrible play by play w/ the joe angel and fred manfra, they caught me off guard!

They asked who I remembered and i dropped mickey tettleton from when i was little and the winning days of the mid nineties w/ …. roberto alomar… i wanted to slap myself but that is the first name that came to mind… Ha, what an awesome night

I thought that was sort of messed up that they kept pushing you to do the play by play.

Pretty funny though.

Congrats!

Invest wisely, and don’t forget us on the days when you can’t go to the game ;)

What seats did you get anyway?

Curt never met a buttered roll he didn't like.

Awesome, dude.

Let us know where your seats are at, though.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Enjoy those season tix, dude. I figure the 50 large is going to your law school bill, but try and get to some games for us, will ya?

at least you didn't say BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE or something tragic like that

by Y Not on Aug 21, 2008 5:30 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think

that would have been absolutely hilarious to hear, but only because it isn’t his job

by Reddrummer9187 on Aug 22, 2008 12:09 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Awesome...

You lucky dog, you! Maybe it will be another CC member when 100M comes around! I have tix to Tuesday and Wednesday games next week. We’ll see how that goes!

by blawk359 on Aug 20, 2008 11:03 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

With the yankees in town and only 108K fans left to go

I’m thinking 100M milestone will be reached Saturday, or maybe Sunday.

by PhilR8 on Aug 20, 2008 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

awesome

Any ideas on where to spend the $50k?

by UMterp08 on Aug 20, 2008 11:09 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

My plan, as a fellow grad student, might be similar to his

IE pay off credit cards and buy a reliable car.

Congrats.

That’s awesome. I’m sorry I missed the game last night now.

Dude

so jealous, but I am stuck in LA for three years before I move to DC, so you’ll enjoy the tickets much more anyway!

Good job Kev! Way to walk through that gate! Seriously though, so much of life is about timing and you had it dead on. A tip of the cap!

Wise choice

Wearing the orange BP jersey, considering that they were hand-picking a winner. If I try to hit up the 100 million promotion later in the homestand, I’ll probably go with my Wild Bill Hagy tee.

Who am I kidding? I’d be wearing that anyway.

Congrats, man.

Cool

Hope the team is worth using a lot of the season tickets on in a few years from now.

Wait...

this is the most Birdland thing thats happened to any of us and we’ve yet to mention it til now. I think Kevin deserves a “KevGracie is Birdland” graphic for that.

Love the responses

50k= college loans plus 2 years of law school- interest not included. Not to mention the fact that I have to pay the taxes first.

I dont usually listen to anita marks but they wanted to talk to me today, i dunno if anyone heard, but some guy called in, definitely NOT me, it was pretty odd that someone would want to do that and not even say anything funny.
Anyway, I talked to mark zinno- I’m going in the studio tomorrow to make up for it, for those of you w/out jobs, or w/ jobs where u can listen to radio or watch tv. MASN/1300 AM at 3 or so tomorrow. I’ll be hangin out w/ Anita and my buddy BEN who bought my freakin ticket! Wish I had a CC shirt to rock on TV.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE- Good investigating by the way, pleasant surprise!

Make up for not having the shirt

By mentioning how insightful and thought provoking we all are.

Yeah...

I could’ve worked on that. But I opted for the rigor-look. Like the blind pirate whose bird was swiped off of his shoulder without his knowledge leaving only the tiny bird foot still perched about his shoulder some years later.
