Out of the Park: An award winner, quick check-up and #NationalHatDay

As the NFL's season continues, so does that of Tyler Wilson's Packers. After beating the Redskins 35-18 on Sunday, the Pack now heads to the desert to take on the Cardinals in the NFC divisional round.

Meanwhile, back here in the Old Line State, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko won, too. On Monday, Roch was named a co-winner of the Maryland Sportswriter of the Year award by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association for the second time while covering the Orioles.

Congratulations, Roch! Your school is the one I don't mind going to every day.

Henry Urrutia took to his Twitter account to thank Birdland for its constant support while he's been with the O's.

Friends, I am very grateful to everyone who supports me and criticize me, also for those who want me this big league !!!

I read your comments in networks and helps me to keep improving and striving, thank you all for supporting me !!

Today I am very surprised because I never thought I'd have so much support from the Orioles fans

-- Henry Urrutia (@henryorioles) January 13, 2016

Now it may not be on the same sentimental level as Urrutia, but Adam Jones had a thank you to send out his week as well.

I want to personally thank @jimmyjohns for providing lunch to my baseball camp Dec. 19-20. Can't thank u enough for the support #StayHungry

No. 14 Bootlegger Club with everything, please and thank you.

Jones is also checking in on everyone with a quick Instagram post asking how his followers are doing.

How's your day been? Mine since I'm asking, has been wonderful so far. Please share yours!!!

The Oriole Bird made it no secret how he's feeling about this holiday weekend.

Does National Hat Day count as a holiday? Because the Bird is celebrating that, too.

Happy #NationalHatDay! My cap looks good on @SimplyAJ10, wouldn't you agree? pic.twitter.com/dUw48J7wEq

I love them all! But I mostly wear the O's cap. You don't always want to look in the mirror and see your face twice. https://t.co/VwcBw6S0yK

What is your favorite Orioles hat? For a storied franchise, I love the classic white front with the cartoon bird hat the O's wear at home.
