The People You Meet at Opening Day (Chapter 3)

Just stopped by Home Plate Plaza and ran into my friends from the Cool Kids Campaign. I'm guessing you'll recognize at least one of them. Yes, that's former figure skating world champion Kimmie Meissner (in the O's cap) along with Chris Federico, Danielle Robinson and Sharon Perfetti. They claim they hopped a fence to get into the game, but I know that's not true because Federico is afraid of heights.

The Cool Kids Campaign promotes programs that help children who are being treated for cancer. It's a really cool program and Kimmie has devoted a great deal of her spare time during her skating career to help the staff make it a success. If you'd like to help, you can click right here to go to their Web site.

wish you'd met a pitcher who could get out of the first inning with less than 30 pitches...glad the pen is all loosened up

Would somebody please tell Adam Jones to stick that bubble gum up his A$$.
Another dropped fly ball while he's blowing bubbles that cost us 2 runs.
What a show boat. Too bad because he could be a great player.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
