As the Baltimore Orioles get set to conclude their series in Cleveland, I read something this morning which absolutely made my skin crawl. In general, I don’t feel that it’s my place to take sides and/or to totally give my opinion. Some columnists disagree, and that’s fine. But the fact is that people read Birds Watcher for Orioles news and information. My personal views are all but irrelevant. But sometimes you have to step out of character.
I came across this article as I was researching some stats for today’s game. You can read it for yourself, however ESPN columnist Howard Bryant is apparently railing against what he sees as forced patriotism.
