The Road to Camden Yards

July 12, 2016 Posted by Matt Pencek Featured Sports, National Sports, Regional Sports, Shorebirds

One of the first stops for those in the Orioles farm system is Delmarva playing for the Shorebirds. Before he was an American League All-Star, Manny Machado was a South Atlantic League All-Star with the Birds.

Infielder Jonathan Schoop was with Machado on the Shorebirds in 2011. “We were there together and now we’re here together it helped us a lot,” Schoop said. “It helps that this is the same baseball but at a higher level.”

Even though the Shorebirds are in a prime vacation area, there were few opportunities to take advantage of the area.

“I really did not get to do a whole lot of that or go anywhere as far as Ocean City,” pitcher Dylan Bundy said. “My buddy and I found a couple of trails just a couple of miles from our apartment and we would trail ride a little bit before we had to report to the field.”
