Although it was bone-chilling cold out in Charm City, it could not temper those who wanted to enjoy a night of baseball stories, food, drinks, face time with their heroes and a chance to get an autograph or two.

Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, Former Oriole stars Al Bumbry, Joe Orsulak, Dick Hall, Dave Johnson & Ken Singleton entertained fans with stories of their glory days, a few laughs, and reminisced about Orioles’ baseball a generation ago. During the event, Baltimore Raven Edwin Mulitalo received the first annual Babe Ruth Community Service Award for his work with Big Ed's Band Foundation, which provides instruments and musical support to Baltimore-area schools.

Closing out the event, legendary Oriole fan and personality, “Wild” Bill Hagy lead the crowd in a cheer for Babe Ruth, and his calling card, the O-R-I-O-L-E-S chant.

All in all, for those of you who were not able to make it out tonight to Babe Ruth’s Birthday Bash, you missed out on an opportunity to have a glorious time.
