Orioles Birdland Caravan To Kick Off In White Marsh

WHITE MARSH, MD — The first-ever Birdland Caravan will kick off this week in White Marsh.

Before the Baltimore Orioles travel for spring training to Sarasota, Florida, the team is hosting three days of events to get fans involved during the off-season. The Birdland Caravan, which runs from Friday to Sunday, includes stops in 12 locations, including The Greene Turtle at the White Marsh Mall.

"This weekend-long winter tour will take the Oriole Park experience directly to fans throughout Birdland and provide opportunities to interact with players, prospects and alumni," Orioles spokesperson Jennifer Grondahl said in a statement. "The Birdland Caravan is one of the many new and exciting ways in which we are engaging with fans beyond the ballpark."

The Orioles also plan to get involved in charitable projects across the region, she said.

For its first stop, the Birdland Caravan will host a happy hour at The Greene Turtle at 8200 Perry Hall Boulevard from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7. There will be two-for-one drinks, except for shots and hell-in-the-shells, according to organizers.

Orioles Manager Brandon Hyde, shortstop Richie Martin, shortstop Gunnar Henderson, pitcher DL Hall, catcher Adley Rutschman, outfielder Cedric Mullins, catching coach Tim Cossins, and bench coach Fredi González will be among those attending Friday's happy hour near Perry Hall.

Over the next two days, the caravan will visit Aberdeen, Annapolis, Ellicott City, Fallston, Fort Meade, Frederick, Hagerstown, Timonium, Upper Marlboro and Westminster. There will also be an event in York, Pennsylvania. See all the events.

Pitchers and catchers will report to Florida for spring training Feb. 11.
