As we fans continue to tick down the days until the start of the 2015 season, the checkpoints on the road to baseball continue to come upon us. There was FanFest, then pitchers & catchers reporting, then the first Spring Training game.
Now, another day that Birdland looks forward to each March is here – the release of the Oriole Park at Camden Yards promotional schedule – that is, giveaways!
So, what looks good this year?
