BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WMAR) - Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz has tuned into ESPN and is keeping track of the Orioles' late season charge to overcome the Yankees and win the division.
Getting caught up in the Oriole Magic, the County Executive has declared Thursday, September 6 "Orange You Pumped?" day in the County.
"I think of a better day to paint the town orange than this Thursday," said Kamenetz. "Baltimore County's resident Iron Man Cal Ripken will have his statue dedicated early that evening and the Orioles will begin a four-game series against the Yankees with a golden opportunity to shock the baseball world."
So everyone is encouraged to wear orange on Thursday.
