Happy New Year, Camden Chatters! 2019 is finally here, which means the worst year in Orioles history is finally over! Do you feel different now? I don’t.
If you were out last night celebrating the end of 2018, I hope you drank....responsibly. It’s what Gary Thorne would have done!
Do you have any resolutions? If so, please share them in the comments! I love hearing about resolutions. I don’t really make any myself. I’m very lazy.

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday, you New Year’s Baby! You have three Orioles birthday buddies. The youngest is Xavier Avery, who appeared in 32 games for the 2012 Orioles, his only major league experience. Avery hasn’t given up the dream as he spent 2018 with the triple-A team for the Braves. He turns 29 years old today.
Your next O’s birthday buddy is Fernando Tatis, who played in 11 major league seasons. That includes 28 games with the 2006 Birds. Tatis turns 44 today.
It’s also the birthday of Foster Castleman. I’ve never heard of him, but I am a big fan of his name. He appeared in 98 games for the 1958 Orioles after four season with the Mets. A very happy birthday to Mr. Castleman, who turns 88 years old today.
On this day in Orioles history, nothing happened because it’s January 1st.
