Patch previews Opening Day for the Orioles, who host the Twins Friday at Camden Yards.
The Orioles return to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the first time since defeating the Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Division Series last fall. It's been a long winter, but to many fans, it felt like the shortest one in 15 years. A winning campaign last season means the first of 81 regular season games at Camden Yards comes with heightened anticipation. A 2-1 start against division rivals Tampa Bay doesn't hurt, either. Like with the roster, there aren't any major changes to Camden Yards itself. However, the warning track that rings the field just inside the fence has been replaced—the original synthetic surface was removed in favor of a blend of natural materials.

Watch June Horner's moving conversation about her 25 years of advocacy for her son and gay and lesbian rights.
June Horner walked in her first Baltimore Pride Parade in the mid-1980s, not long after learning her son was gay. Since then she has been on a quest to let the world know "our kids are fine just the way they are." This Saturday she gets to lead that cause. After having a presence in pride parades in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco, Horner for the first time won't be walking at the back of the procession; she will be grand marshal of the Baltimore Pride Parade.
