Tuesday, January 15th, 2013I know that many of you don’t care for the Orioles but I do and this is so cool:
Adam Jones flew from his home in San Diego to Baltimore for Ray Lewis’ final home game, then traveled to Denver to watch the Ravens upset the Broncos in double overtime and now he’s headed to New [...]

About the Orioles’ (Excessive?) On-Field Celebration
Friday, September 30th, 2011That is why Adam Jones is one of the few athletes worth following on Twitter. The sentiment is also why the O’s received mild criticism for reveling in their victory and Boston’s late-season collapse.
Baltimore finished strong this year, but finishing strong in Baltimore only means avoiding 100 losses. For the sixth straight year, the O’s [...]
O’s Outfielders Replace Flying Hip Bump With Loving Group Hug
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011Big League Stew tried to ban the hip bump three years ago. Three years later, against reason, it persists across sports with balls played by men who enjoy leaping in the air to touch heines in celebration.
Exceptions to this obnoxiousness are O’s outfielders Adam Jones, Felix Pie and Nolan Reimold, who have finally stopped hip [...]
DMV: Adam Jones’ ‘A-Mays-ing’ Catch
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011Adam Jones not only hit a second-deck homer against Seattle, the team that traded him away, but he also made this terrific, over-the-shoulder, basket catch. Better than Roger Bernadina’s amazing grab? I think so. [BSR, BLS]

Adam Jones Needs a Haircut, You Guys
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010It’s been two years since I moved down to Wilmington and I’ve just now found a barber I’m comfortable with. Of course it means frequenting the local SuperCuts, but she’s getting it done.
Before moving, my guy was Faraj at Pete’s in North Arlington. No one else cut my hair for the better part of the [...]
Professional Baseball Player Adam Jones Thinks He’s Better at Baseball Than You
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Orioles centerfielder — and 2009 All-Star! — Adam Jones is having a rough April. His team is off to its worst start in 20-plus years and he’s hitting like a pitcher, which is similar to how he hit in the second half of last season.
Adam Jones also has a Twitter account. Given the circumstances, that [...]

DMV: How Soon Is Now for Adam Jones?
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Thanks to an Adam bomb in the 10th, the O’s win again. Depending on who/what you believe, it traveled 430-470 feet. The 23-year-old now has a 1.120 OPS. [The Sun]

Scott Van Pelt Is Curious About This Guy
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Last night Chris Waters had the finest Major League debut for an O’s pitcher since Bob Milacki 20 years ago, prompting Scott Van Pelt to sign off SportsCenter with something to the effect of:
“Orioles fans have got to be asking, ‘Where’s this guy been all year?’”
In case O’s fans are actually asking that, the answer [...]
