2015 Opening Day was a terrific day except for a few things. Many were disappointed that the traditional magnetic schedule was not the giveaway but instead a Fathead Decal page. My friend, Judy Moskowitz, was looking for her magnetic schedule to add to her collection as was I. I provided the new 2015 Fathead Decal which contained a schedule to Judy and she provided me an older magnet from 2002 to use to attach my fathead decal schedule. I learned that some parents thought their kids would love the Fathead Decals. Sure hope so!!

While Bud Norris didn’t have a good outing and the O’s lost Opening Day, it was still a great day to have Orioles baseball back and looking to a great 2015 season. Sure hope your day was OMAZING!!!

Yesterday, I taped an interview with Bryan Nehman of WBAL-1090am radio as a result of request from Jacob Young, Maryland’s Morning News Now Producer. Plans are to air the edited version Friday morning at 6:50am. If that time changes, I’ll let you know. Anyway, had another wonderful opportunity to share how Wear Orange Wednesdays began and how far I think we have come. Sure hope you will tune in. Always hope to hear from you.

Excited about 2015 Opening Day and looking forward to seeing our beloved O’s in person at Oriole Park at Camden Yards! Of course I’m also hoping to see everyone in #ORANGE and maybe even bring along your RALLY TOWEL from the PLAYOFFS! I’ll be hanging at Dempsey’s with friends if you want to stop by and say HELLO! GO O’s!!! And here’s to another great day of Orioles baseball!

Fortunately, I have my Twitter friend, Chuck Broemmel, who watched the morning news this morning because I overslept! He not only helps me with Tweets for WOW! but also to say thanks to our media friends. He Tweeted that all three stations, WJZ, WBAL, and ABC2 were WOW! today!!! That’s the earliest I’ve ever had their support. Thanks to our local broadcasters for their continued, loyal support as we get closer to OPENING DAY, APRIL 10TH!!!

Today I started delivering our 2015 postcards to our business partners. First on my mental list was Dempsey’s where I gave a few to Manager Leroy. He gave me some exciting news that 105.7 The Fan will be pre-broadcasting from Dempsey’s this season rather than Pickles Pub. And they will be there on Opening Day!

Next I visited Great Moments – Camden Yards and spoke with Manager Glenn who loved our new postcards and is very excited about the coming season as we get closer each day. I then drove to Great Moments – White Marsh and spoke with Lauren who is the owner’s daughter. She offered to deliver postcards to Timonium and Westminster for me. Thanks sooo much for the help!!!

Last on my trips today was to Poor Boys – Dundalk. Neither Owners Mike nor Tracie were there but a long-time employee graciously took postcards for them.

BTW, all of these businesses are thrilled for the 2015 Baltimore Orioles Season to begin and have lots of O’s gear and as always great food and drink and Dempsey’s! Please stop by for a visit…they would love to see you especially in ORANGE!!!

Yesterday, Marty Bass showed our new website on WJZ-TV to kick-off the WOW Season for 2015!!! I managed to shoot a video of shout-out for you and it is posted on Orange Wednesdays-Baltimore Orioles FB page with a link to @woworioles Twitter account.

What a sincere thrill it was for me to see it on-air plus have such positive comments from Marty Bass and Ron Matz during morning news.

WJZ and their broadcast team has been extremely helpful in supporting WOW! Wear Orange Wednesdays pretty much from its inception. Just know how grateful I am for their local media support. U R the BEST — THANK YOU, WJZ!!!

Wear Orange Wednesday

And then there were three… Three days separate Orioles players and fans alike from the 2014 baseball season. The team has made several changes to their roster over the off season. From trading and letting go of players to signing free agents, the Orioles front office has done a stellar job in getting fans excited for the season that is about to unfold.

If the team needs any more ways to get excited for the season, then they should listen to the initiative that a former Baltimore County Schools employee has created. Near the beginning of the 2012 season, Nancy Cook started what is known as “Wear Orange Wednesdays.”

Her thought process was a simple one. The entire Baltimore community takes part in “Purple Fridays” during the Ravens’ season where everyone wears purple on the Friday before a Ravens game. Cook thought the community should pay homage to the other professional sports team that is located on Russell Street with the same type of initiative.

Just like the team has become better since the start of the 2012 season, so too has Wear Orange Wednesdays. The initiative even now has an official Facebook page.

 

Why Wednesdays you ask? The initiative’s Facebook page explains the reason behind the selected day. It reads: “Wednesday is Hump Day and I want us to help the O’s get over the HUMP!”

WOWThrough networking, Cook has grown WOW (Wear Orange Wednesdays) and, according to MASNSports.com, she now has about a dozen volunteers helping her in her efforts to make everyone in the community to wear orange and cheer on our beloved O’s.

The Facebook page now has over 2,100 likes and Cook’s Twitter page has over 215 followers. Everyone wants to get involved in WOW any way they can, including Dempsey’s Brew Pub. Dempsey’s has been most supportive in Cook’s mission to spread the Orioles spirit.

On Wednesdays, they actually have a Orange Wednesday special on the menu. On that day, they offer customers (21 and older) Camden Crush Specials. The catch is though you must be wearing orange or some form of Orioles gear on to get the special prices. Sorry Yankee and Red Sox fans; you all have to pay for your drinks at full price.

When I first heard about this initiative, I thought it was solely for increasing the Orioles support in the community. However, once I did a little digging on what WOW was all about, I quickly found out that was only half of what WOW’s goal is.

“It is also to help reduce obesity in children by getting them back on the ball fields and eating properly,” the description of their Facebook page read.

Baseball is America’s pastime; yet as of late, it has lost its popularity for many of our country’s youth. WOW and Cook will try to change that and as the Orioles keep winning this season and become more popular, hopefully so will this initiative.

Orioles fans, listen up, Cook is giving a simple command: Wear orange on Wednesdays. So get your favorite Orioles jersey washed and dust off that Orioles cap because when the Orioles take the field this Monday and continue to shock the world this season everyone will be saying one thing…. “WOW!”
