Orioles Serve As Honorary Captains In Coin Toss
BALTIMORE (AP) ―
Orioles president Andy MacPhail, manager Dave Trembley and center fielder Adam Jones served as honorary captains during the coin toss before the game Sunday.
"The Ravens are going to win, but it's going to be a good game," predicted Jones, who watched Maryland lose to Florida State from the sideline one night earlier.
MacPhail makes a living at baseball, but he's no stranger to the football field. As a teenager, he served as a ball boy for two summers with the Minnesota Vikings.
Asked if intended to call the coin toss, Trembley replied, "I'll have to check with coach Harbaugh."
