Mention Robert Andino to an Orioles fan, and the result is likely to be a warm smile. Most fans remember his game-winning hit against the Boston Red Sox Sept. 28, 2011 as a turning point in Orioles history.
Andino, now 32 and five years removed from his last spring training with the Orioles, is back. In between, the infielder, who was traded to Seattle Dec. 1, 2012, has played 42 major league games with the Mariners in 2013 and Miami last year. In 2015, Andino's only action came in independent ball, when he played for the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League.
But, just as Orioles fans loved him, Andino loved being in Baltimore.
