As the NFL learned how to make its year-round football activities more and more of a spectacle, the Orioles became less and less compelling to watch. During these, the Darkest of Ages, Orioles fans would be glued to OTAs and preseason games instead of actual baseball games, starting in July. Baseball games would also take a backseat to the NFL Draft – an event that included weeks of prognostication, anticipation, and gallons of spilled ink. With that in mind, we present the 2024 Birdland Draft. Around the Bases In honor of the Orioles hitting home runs like they’re going out of style, we forego the rest of the bases, and we hit home plate each time… First Base:  Athletics, Yankees to round out April The Orioles are currently 16-8. There have been some bad losses, but the returns are pretty good so far.
