The last time fans had a welcoming party for the Orioles following a playoff series, it was a joyous yet somber occasion after a Game 5 loss to the New York Yankees in the 2012 ALDS. Today, the atmosphere was joyous yet anticipatory, as the team returned from sweeping the Detroit Tigers in this year’s ALDS.
Here are some sights and sounds from the welcoming committee at Oriole Park at Camden Yards:
Fans are lined up ready to welcome back @Orioles players. The crowd is chanting, "We Won't Stop!" #WJZ @cbsbaltimore pic.twitter.com/1EgbpcGawZ
