Howie correctly notes Joan Jett in the house and, not caring about her reputation, supporting the Orioles.



He incorrectly states that the Blackhearts did not join her in the RnRHoF.

Wracking my brain here for the source of the O's allegiance for Jett (born in Philly, longtime LI resident). Weaver's niece? Secret dalliance with Eddie Murray? Secret dalliance with Eddie Murray's wife?

I guess I'm pleasantly surprised that fans in the house today weren't assholes to Harvey, but I'm a little surprised at how beloved he is years later. My feelings on him are a bit more mixed.

Lazy research turned this up: https://baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/joan-jett-might-orioles-biggest-fan/https://baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/joan-jett-might-orioles-biggest-fan/

We used to live in Maryland and my dad took us to see the Baltimore Orioles several times. But my first game was Jim Palmer against Catfish Hunter of the Oakland A's. Jim Palmer threw a no-hitter. So how can you not be an Orioles freak after seeing that for the first game? It was the team with Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson and the 4 20-game winners. It was quite a learning experience at the time.

There's being a big fan, and then there's being a full-dress-fantasy-camp big fan. Apparently, she also did the anthem at Cal's record-tying game, at his request.

Palmer's no-hitter was in 1969. The O's had four 20-game winners two years later, in 1971.



Same franchise. Different teams.

"Keegan Akin" definitely sounds more than a little autogenerated

This is *exactly* what I was hoping for. Wonderful, well-deserved standing O from the crowd, then they whack the ball all over the place on him.

They all had better watch out for Ryan Mountcastle.
