Welcome to the BEVys! The BEVy Awards are back, with a collection of new presenters and old favorites (like our very own Iron Man, Derek Arnold who has presented an award on every show!). What are the BEVys, you ask? The BEVys are a mid-season awards show in which we (and some of our friends in the Bird-O’s-sphere) hand out faux awards. You see, there is no real hardware, and no one is there to accept. The BEVys are a little bit like Who’s Line Is It, Anyway in the fact that the games are made up and the points don’t matter. The Presenters This year’s show features appearances by other fantastic content creators in the Bird-Os-Sphere: The Awards… The 11th Annual BEVy Awards feature the following awards: * The Forgotten Man Award * Ryan of the Year * We Have Arrived Award * Person We Would Invite to Our Birthday Party Before Keegan Akin Award * Colossal MLB Flubs: Rob Manfred Edition * Worst BEVy Music * Worth the Airfare Award * Hair On My Chinny Chin Chin Award * Worst Walk Up Songs * 5th Beatle Award * He Is Him Award * Best Rejected Promotional Sections at OPaCY Many Thanks! The BEVys provides us an excellent opportunity to stop and smell the roses. We enjoy producing this podcast beyond measure, and we have many people to thank for making the effort possible, and for making it so much fun. Please know that there are too many people not listed here that are vital to what we do, and ensuring that we laugh so hard along the way. We apologize for not mentioning everyone by name (but the show is already long enough). That being said, we would like to thank: * The “Voice of the BEVys,” Jovial Jay Shepard. * The many contributors to this show, and collaborators in the Bird-O’s-Sphere, at large. It seems that all the people we meet who create Orioles content online are generous with their time and talents, and know how to have a good time. * OBP Apparel, for our sweet logo. * The artists who provide our show music on a weekly basis: Songs from the Moon – Watching the Orioles (Bird’s Eye View theme song) * Black Dog Prowl – No Robots (interstitial music) * The Last Year – Mania (interstitial music) * Our wives, the Baseball Widows, who encourage our passions and tolerate our podcast-related absences. * Bird’s Eye View listeners. There may be no accounting for your taste, but we appreciate the opportunity to share in your Orioles fandom experience. It’s been fun getting to know you through the years, and to share our lack of insight and baseless opinions along the way. Thanks for making this a rewarding experience.
