There’s nothing like a big prospect debuting at home; Jackson Holliday’s is the latest in a long line of them. More likely going forward, though, will be warm welcomes back like the ones waiting for DL Hall and Joey Ortiz. Both represent great successes. thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/orioles…

I spoke to Cal Ripken Jr. about the No. 7, a number he didn't realize (until yesterday) had been unofficially set aside by the Orioles in honor of his dad. He's glad Jackson Holliday is wearing it again in part because of its connections to the past: thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/orioles…

For his family, Jackson Holliday’s debut brings a flood of emotions, and a sense of history repeating.

A scout described Norfolk's week as a 'perfect storm' of a favorable hitting environment, bad pitching, and hitters who are big league ready.

Delights me to now end that there is a Loyola guy on this UCONN team. Love this story.

Ask Jordan Westburg why he’s more comfortable in the big leagues this season, and he’s honest. His faith is a huge part of his life. Connecting deeper there has a calming element.
