Question on Baseball Etiquette

[Bluerauder]

Are you allowed to mix uniform items from the same League and Division? ;)

Apparently my grandson is conflicted on which team to support. Here he is at the Norfolk Tides game on Sunday, 30 June 2013. The Tides are the Triple A International league affiliate of the "Orioles". Not sure where he picked up the "Yankee" status. Not from me OR his Dad.

Charlie, would ya' get that nasty looking jersey off of the poor kid!!!

I bet that his head was happy and his body sad, earlier this week when the O's swept the Skankees!

He's obviously a very smart young man being a Yankee's fan so stop conflicting him by making him root for the Blows :P:D

[WhatsUpDOHC]

I understand the conflict but a kid who is interested in baseball can do anything that he (in this case) wants.

Buy him a load of souvenirs and junk food and enjoy being a kid again (albeit with $$) with him.

I have always been an Orioles fan. Growing up in Baltimore only 3 blocks from the stadium, I guess I didn't have much of a choice. ;) You just get use to the Black and Orange and White after awhile.

To be honest, I think I've always liked the NY Yankees at least a little except when they were in town to beat the Orioles which happened a lot in the late 50s and 60s. They WERE the team to beat.

Of course, I got to see some of the legends of NY Yankee fame play when I was just a kid.

I've seen Whitey Ford and Bob Turley pitch. I've been there when Elston Howard was catching.

Watched the infield featuring Clete Boyer, Tony Kubek, Billy Richardson, and Bill Skowron turn many double plays.

And I've seen Yogi Berra catch AND play Left Field, Mickey Mantle in Center and Roger Maris in Right.

It was definitely a good time for a kid to be interested in baseball.

Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra signed my baseball outside the visitors club area as they were boarding the team bus back to New York. They signed my glove too. All very nice guys and always eager to meet their "fans" even if they sat on the Oriole's side of the field.

It was just so easy collecting signatures that we didn't realize how big a deal it was during the 1961 season. Heck, I was only 11. We went home and played with the ball and obscured the signatures in just a couple days. The glove got replaced. No big deal .... Wish I had that stuff now; but we were just kids loving baseball and having fun. :up:

What I hate about the Orioles is their need to shout "OOOHHH" during the star spangled banner (o say does that star spangled banner yet wave)

They come to Nationals park and so it there too. So aggravating
