And the 30-30 MLB Give A Spit Tour was born. In June and July of 2015, the couple swabbed for the bone marrow registry in 18 ballparks, swabbing thousands of baseball fans over 30 days and even made it Cooperstown. No rainouts, one passport forgotten, many celebrities and wonderful friends we visited and made along the way on behalf of There Goes My Hero.

Two months ago, you shook my hand all doe-eyed, took my Baltimore Positive business card at a local networking function that I actively participate in with a great group of community folks monthly, somehow believably feigned that “we’d be in touch” – I took you at your word – and then your bush league team sent along ridiculously insincere replies (or none at all) and your mostly unprofessional Lieutenants have all lined up to pretend that I don’t exist or that my questions on behalf of your fans are somehow irrelevant. I’m here holding a mirror up for you. That’s my role. You hold the power; I hold it accountable. Always…

Sure, it’s not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds’ struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Is there an “ace” in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin…and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds’ pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.

Some spring sports cleaning and cleansing with Nestor about the Ravens, Orioles, Terps and local coverage of the college NIL world and high schools sports. And how it all ties together with club teams and the recreation Little League world, where he hangs his hat and leadership. We made this one for the “stick to sports” crowd…
It’s been quite a week for the fashion-forward sports fans of Baltimore. Our pal and sports brand artist Todd Radom joins Nestor to discuss the Ravens Next Flight uniforms and helmet variations and the City Connect” concept for Orioles fans. Let’s peek inside how the mind of an artist, the heart of a billionaire, the wants and needs of Nike, “properties” and how the churn of reality and sales shifts the times, shadows and “laundry” of your favorite team and league.
