Friday Bird Droppings: Where great MLB careers have met their end in Baltimore

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

It’s been a couple days since the Orioles announced a slew of minor league signings, and there’s one that’s got me particularly excited. That’s right, I’m a Malquin Canelo fanatic!

...I kid, of course. No offense to Mr. Canelo. But I’m referring to six-time All-Star Felix Hernandez, the former Mariners phenom who debuted at 19 years old and served as the club’s dazzling ace for over a decade, winning the Cy Young in 2010 and finishing in the top 10 of the voting five other times. The man was beloved in Seattle, where at every home start M’s fans packed the King’s Court at Safeco Field, adorned in yellow and maniacally waving K signs for every strikeout.
