New York Mets to play spring training game at U.S. Naval Academy

This March, the New York Mets will take part in what should be an extremely intriguing event for Major League Baseball.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Thursday that they’ll be facing the Mets in a spring training game at the U.S. Naval Academy’s Max Bishop Stadium. The matchup will commence at 2:05 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 24.

It’s the first time in 35 years that the Orioles will be playing an exhibition game at the Naval Academy.

The stadium — located in Annapolis, Maryland — is home to the Navy Midshipmen baseball team and named after former Navy baseball coach Max Bishop.
