The Orioles Are Riding Scooters to Navigate a Difficult Season
BALTIMORE — Richie Martin has had the car of his dreams for less than a year, but he has only driven it once in the past month. The infielder bought a white Tesla last August and imagined life as a big leaguer, cruising around in style. Then he debuted with the Orioles and learned that his teammates prefer two wheels.
It’s easy to find a space in the players’ parking lot at Oriole Park at Camden Yards these days. The real fight for real estate is in a hallway between the clubhouse and the video room, where against a wall rest a dozen electric scooters.
“It may be the lamest biker gang of all time,” says rightfielder Trey Mancini.
