It has been almost a month since Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez made headlines here after calling out Orioles fans for not showing up in force for the first homestand of the 2016 season.
He was scratching his head over some very small post-Opening Day crowds. He dismissed the weather as a legitimate excuse for the seeming lack of enthusiasm for a team that hiked its payroll dramatically over the winter and features one of the most power-packed offensive lineups in history.
Well, nothing has changed. The Orioles averaged just 20,310 per home game in April after averaging 33,288 a year ago.
