A steady rain didn't dampen the spirits of several hundred Orioles fans who braved the elements for the first-ever "Winter Warm-Up" at Camden Yards Dec. 14.
Eutaw Street was decked out with Christmas decorations and a live band played carols in a tent-covered stage in the right-field flag court. Later, Orioles general manager Mike Elias, assistant GM Sig Mejdal and manager Brandon Hyde took questions under that from the "die-hard fans" who largely supported the direction of the rebuilding club.
"You guys are our core group of fans," Elias said. "We build off your support and to come out here and brave this weather says so much to us. We know you guys understand what we're doing right now as an organization and where we're headed and we really appreciate you coming out."
