Baltimore Orioles: Adam Jones’ #StayHungry tailgate

facebooktwitterreddit

There are few Baltimore Orioles or players on any other team (possibly in any other sport) that do as much charity work as Adam Jones. That’s a laudable thing in this world, and it shows that Jones cares very deeply about the community. And why not? His wife is from Baltimore, and his son was born and is being raised here.

So with today being an NFL Sunday, I thought it was worth mentioning that Jones’ annual “#StayHungry Purple Tailgate” is going to be held on Monday, December 13th prior to the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Seattle Seahawks. Yes folks, that’s prior to the NFL at it’s best – Monday Night Football! The event will last from 4 – 7:30 PM, and will be held at 700 Ostend St.

Local restaurants will be providing food, and there will also be live entertainment. Tickets are $50 for General Admission, and $200 for a VIP pass – which includes a ticket to the Ravens/Seahawks game. Jones along with several of his Orioles teammates will also be attending the event, which should be a nice precursor to what everyone hopes will be a great evening of nationally televised football at M & T Bank Stadium!

This is one of many examples of the Orioles and Ravens working together in the community, and thus coming together for a common good. The tailgate and the Ravens’ appearance on Monday Night Football will cap off a weekend that will include Orioles FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center on Saturday. So it should be a big couple of days in Charm City. You can purchase tickets to the tailgate at www.bmorearoundtown.com.
