Good morning, Camden Chatters.
If you’ve already put the Orioles’ 2021 season firmly in your rearview mirror, tossing any memory of the brutal campaign into a dustbin of history, it’s hard to blame you. There wasn’t a lot to like about a 110-loss season in which the club constantly looked overwhelmed and undermanned.
But through it all, there’s one wonderful, lasting image of the 2021 Orioles that won’t ever be forgotten. Trey Mancini, the Birds’ veteran leader, fan favorite, and all-around terrific human being, achieved what most wouldn’t have believed possible, returning from Stage 3 colon cancer to play a full, productive season of major league baseball.
