As Brian Roberts is on the DL I thought I would substitute one of his teammates for the Card of the Day post. Since they all seem to suck these days, I figured I would go with the Oriole Bird. This is card #M3 in the 2010 Topps Opening Day Mascot insert set. I have professed my love for cards of mascots before and I think the O Bird deserves some credit. It ain't easy cheering for a team that is 2-11 and has yet to win a game at home...
I enjoy having this card, except I do have a problem with it. While the other mascots have their specific name listed on the front, this one says Baltimore Orioles, as opposed to Oriole Bird. Oh well, I'm just a bitter O's fan.
Other potential blogs include: 1964 Topps Giants, Pat Neshek, 1951 Bowman, Jason Bartlett, Danny Tartabull, 1965 Topps, Ben Grieve, 1887 Allen and Ginter Champions-STAY TUNED!!!

ReplyDeleteI think you're bitter Ryan, but it's the O's start that's causing it. Not that my Rangers are anything to brag about.
