Orioles
First things first - a fair warning: this post obviously isn't 100% focused on the Orioles. Although, we all probably enjoy the idea of one day tracking celebrities at an O's-(Insert opponent of choice here) World Series--if O's fans will even be able to think about anything else when that day arrives! So this might be a little bit of a non-Orioles Buzz entry, but it's still fun to see who from the realm of stardom has made an appearance so far at this year's World Series. Check out The...

He didn't have the fastball velocity he had while dominating in high school. For sure he didn't have the eye-opening stats either. But for O's first-round draft pick, RHP Matt Hobgood, his first season of pro ball was productive. He made the transition from high school ball and found out what it takes to be a pro. It all happened fast for Hobgood. On May 31st, he pitched in a playoff game for Norco (California) High. A week later he threw a bullpen session for the O's brass at Camden...

They shaved down the bump on my heel, that will give me some more room in...
