Olivia Witherite

I am currently a college student studying broadcast journalism and public relations. I root for the Orioles and the Ravens from Lynchburg, Va. I could spend all day watching SportsCenter, and the feeling I get from walking down Eutaw Street will never cease to take my breath away. I have interned with MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network.) I am very interested in learning more about the faces in the crowds who make Baltimore great, despite many losing baseball seasons. Every fan has a story.
