Monday Bird Droppings

After dropping a series to a very beatable Yankees squad, the Orioles head back to Baltimore for a day off. There are no more days off until May. The Rays, Dodgers and Blue Jays will visit during the upcoming homestand. Promotions will be offered in seven of the nine games (including Student Night Friday against the Dodgers and drawstring bags to be given out before Wednesday's game).

The Orioles Used A Special Bat Named "Stumpy" Against Mariano Rivera I'm guessing this had nothing to do with Walter Brennan.

On this day in 1954, the Orioles played their first game at Memorial Stadium and defeated the White Sox 3-1; in 2000, Cal Ripken picked up his 3,000th hit, becoming the seventh player in MLB history to hit 400 home runs and reach 3,000 hits.

It's the birthday of Chris TIllman.
