Last Sunday was Little League Day at Oriole Park. All little league teams from the metro area were invited for a parade around the warning track. Unfortunately, it was 96 degrees in the shade that day.
Fortunately, the chance to be on the field (but not on the grass; the O's management was very specific about that) and get high fives from a few players (thank you Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, and others) made Samson forget about how hot he was.
That and a special appearance from the Oriole bird and a giant lemonade when we got to our seats.
I'm not sure why this picture looks so pixelated; maybe it was the heat waves rising from the concrete in the upper deck playing with the camera's lens?

I remember my first time on a real baseball field, Mets / Yankees 1973
and even though Ron Klimkowski might not remember me, I wont forget him. its still cool
What a great experience. And if Samson's rough, gruff personality isn't enough to sell his "serious athlete" mentality (ha), the skinned knee definitely does the trick. Well played, young Samson. Well played.
