In Monday’s Orioles game against the Yankees, Ryan O’Hearn made a place for himself in the book of Birdland legends by hitting a three-run home run. It wasn’t the home run itself that was legendary. Rather, after doing the traditional walk down the dugout high-fiving everyone and then taking a drink out of the homer hose, O’Hearn, who was oblivious to or uncaring of a hot mic right next to him, exclaimed, “Suck my fuckin’ balls!”
He could have said anything right there and it would have been great, because he just gave the Orioles a 4-0 lead over the Yankees in a game that everyone hoped would launch an O’s season comeback that is desperately needed.
