The Week’s 10 Best
1 Orioles Opening Day Congratulations, you’ve made it through another baseball-less winter. Your reward? Come Monday, the national pastime starts up again in earnest. Here in Baltimore, of course, that means that the Orioles migrate northward from their winter home in Sarasota, Fla., back to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where they belong. Sure, there are unanswered questions, such as how the starting pitching will shake out (isn’t thatalwaysaquestion, hereof late in Birdland?), whether Mark Trumboand Chris Daviswillboth have monsterhome run years,and how much better Manny Machado can get. But hey, it’s Opening Day, and all things are possible. Ah, just to hear the sound of bat on ball again. Game time is 3:05 p.m. Mondayat Oriole Park at Camden Yards, 333 W.
