 The players won't see it until they return to the ballpark at the end of next week. But the birds are back in action tomorrow night in Texas. They open the second half of the season against the Rangers at 8.05. The Orioles also announced the passing of former pitcher Jerry Walker. He pitched in the majors right out of high school and was signed in 1957, along with Milt Pappas, Steve Barber, and Chuck Estrada.
