My goodness. You couldn’t have written a more fantastic script than what played out on the Camden Yards field this afternoon.
It had to be seen to be believed. Trey Mancini, the longest tenured Oriole, the universally beloved clubhouse leader and fan favorite, the inspirational comeback king, stepped to the plate in the eighth inning for what might have been his final at-bat in front of the home crowd. On Mo Gaba Day, a celebration of the late young superfan and Orioles Hall of Famer with whom Mancini shared a special bond.
And he hit a home run.
