BALTIMORE - Two loyal Orioles fans come out to Camden Yards to feel, not see the games.

Rob and Linwood are blind, but still attend Orioles games. They use their canes to find the front entrance, and feed off the energy of the crowd.

The audience is more cheerful this year, said Linwood.

"I hear the joy, the fans, that the Orioles are doing well and like the Orioles magic is back," said Rob.

"I hear like people making the sounds that I can tell when something bad happens, like if  somebody catches a ball when we hit it or something.  I can tell by the crowd that there was a good thing..." said Rob.

The two, best friends, can't see, but can feel the pulse of the town and the Orioles.
