10 reasons to hate the...Baltimore Orioles

The O's have struggled to draw fans. The addition of the Nationals to the area haven't helped attendance either. The majority of the fans they do manage to draw are usually fans of the visiting team who are there to see the ballpark. Recently, it seems like there is an animosity towards these tourists at Camden Yards. I was down there for a Red Sox - Orioles game in May and there was a brawl in the stands.

Not only is this extremely lame, but it's disrespectful. The name of your favorite team begins with the letter O, we get it. Just because "The Star Spangled Banner" was written in Baltimore doesn't give the city's residents the right to butcher it. This practice has even migrated beyond the Maryland border. I was at a Washington Capitals game this year and the Caps fans also yelled "O" during the anthem.

The Orioles honor their greats by putting their plaques up on a wall outside a restroom near the park's entrance.
