With coronavirus keeping fans out, Orioles faithful forced to celebrate ‘holiday’ of home opener in different ways

When Lisa Krysiak attended an Orioles-hosted blood drive at Camden Yards in late May, she savored her time around the ballpark. She recognized she likely wouldn’t be back at any point during the summer.

That likelihood increased further this week with news of an outbreak of the coronavirus among the Miami Marlins’ player roster and coaching staff, postponing the Orioles’ series in Miami and scrambling both teams’ schedules. The Marlins, with 15 players testing positive for the virus, have had their season postponed through at least this week, while the Orioles, instead of hosting Miami for two games, will play their home opener against the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
