These days, you take what you can get. As reigning
2013 World Series Champions, you have to think that fans of most of the
other 29 teams despise us. Fortunately, the New York Yankees exist to pick up the hate burden for us. According to a poll in
The Baltimore Sun, a solid majority of Orioles fans (59%) hate
The Evil Ones more than they hate us (41%). Of course, part of this dynamic may be due to the fact that one of Baltimore's signature franchise players—
Brian Roberts—recently fled to
The Concrete Bunker On 161st Street. I think we can all relate to that. So, the next time you get shouted down at Camden Yards, know that they'd
rather be shouting down a fan of
The Pinstriped Posers.
