(BALTIMORE – July 9, 2022) – I am Baltimore all the way through. I bleed purple all day long. As for the “Birds”, of course, I have an Orioles hat … or two or three for that matter, but I also proudly rock a Yankees cap without hesitation. It’s just when it comes to my fundamental love for baseball, I love those Yankees, too. Let me explain.

One might ask, ‘Doni, if you love Baltimore so much, then how could you dare where a Yankees cap – let alone a jersey?’ To which, I’ll respond with one name: Reggie Jackson. Or, I might answer, “Game 6, 1977”. And then there’s the obvious response: “Mr. October!”

Yes, I love Baltimore – from the old City Hospital to the old Provident Hospital on Division Street where I was born. And of course, I grew up watching Jim Palmer, Al Bumbry, Dave McNally, Paul Blair, and Mark Belanger. I adored both Earl Weaver and Frank Robinson. And Brooks was my all-time favorite, probably! Lee May with his waving bat, Mike Cuellar on the mound … all on 33^rd Street in the right-field bleachers! Those were the days.
