Tuesday Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles set a club record for gopher balls

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Can you picture it? Years from now, you’ll be bouncing your grandkids on your knee, regaling them with reminiscences about the Orioles teams of yore.

“Tell us again!” the rosy-cheeked scamps will exclaim. “Tell us our favorite story again! Pleeeeease?”

“Okay, okay,” you’ll chortle, twinkle in your eye. “Let me tell you about the time the Orioles set a new franchise record for giving up home runs.”

We are all witnesses. Before 2019, no Oriole team had given up more than 242 home runs in a season.
