Orioles star Trey Mancini in impressive company on club’s leaderboards after his first 500 games

Friday’s 5-4 Orioles loss to the New York Yankees at Camden Yards was first baseman Trey Mancini’s 500th career big league game, and considering what the last year-plus of his life has looked like, that’s no small milestone.

Mancini spent 18 months stuck on 462 games after a stage 3 colon cancer diagnosis last spring required surgery and six months of treatment, meaning he missed all of 2020.

But now that he’s hit the 500-game mark, it’s further proof that a player who has been the face of this rebuilding era of Orioles baseball isn’t out of place with some of the all-time greats of the franchise.
