Orioles Promotional Offers and Dealings

Alright, let me say some of these don't need much explain but are really wacky promotional items including an Orioles newsboy cap, a barbecue tool set, an scarf, and tote bags. Let me just tell you in terms of promotional deals that were given to me, it isn't very nice to have four figurines of a yankees player when you're not even a fan.

The one particular event I would like to discuss is, Alumni Autograph Series

It appears that it's a day offered two times a month where for a hour and half Orioles alumni meets with fans and sign baseballs, jerseys, hats, whatever you've got. What I want to investigate though is which players show up to these events. Now looking at list, you basically get what you give. They're not legends, but I mean alumni so you can really argue. The only name I recognize from the list is Paul Blair, but I mean most of these players came before my time. Other alumni include: Joe Durnham, Tim Nordbrook, Dave Johnson, Tippy Martinez, Scott McGregor. Still pretty cool to see that the Orioles organization offers this and it's not something that every single team offers, as far as I know.

Since this is pretty short, might as well add some breadth to this post by checking in on the disabled list:

Brian Deunsing (I didn't know the Orioles have this player, but his name does sound familiar so I'll have to do some further research)
60 Day Disabled List... Left Elbow Inflammation
Hyun Soo Kim
Any day (assuming the All-Star break is included in this time)... Right hamstring strain
T.J. McFarland 
15 Day Disabled List... Left Knee Inflammation
Darren O'Day
15 Day Disabled List... Right hamstring strain

Upcoming:

2016 Home Run Derby and All Star Game

A check in with the whole Orioles roster, there are many players I'm not necessarily familiar with and to do more research behind them.
