A Special Opportunity For O's Fans Thats For A Good Cause

A Special Opportunity For O's Fans Thats For A Good Cause

Former journalist Bob Ibach joined The Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn and Jason La Canfora , to talk a little baseball as well as his charitable foundation. Bob is obviously very excited for the Baltimore Orioles and the position they are in for going to the World Series.  He told the guys he got a chance to see the Orioles in spring training down in Florida and was very impressed with their pitching.  
Comparing former successful Orioles manager Earl Weaver and Buck Showalter, Bob says, "They are both no nonsense guys and they both want to win.   Buck is not as animated as Earl, but they both want to win and so many Orioles fans that have waited a long time to get to this place."
Jeremy stated every time Bob is on, he always has something good for the fans.  "This is very special and very limited, only 5000 of these are going to be sold.  This is the first time ever that you can get 3 championships on one baseball."    
As stated on the website, Nikco Sports is selling an exclusive 2-Ball set, made by Rawlings, which commemorates the Orioles 2014 season and playoff run, along with their past World Series wins of 1966, 1970 & 1983. There are only 5,000 sets being produced. The first ball commemorates this season's highlights, including their 2014 AL East Championship and Division playoff series win over the Tigers, their franchise history, and a full color stadium image. The second baseball commemorates the Baltimore Orioles previous World Series Championships in 1966, 1970, and 1983.  "We will put the world series logo on it if the Orioles win the World Series.  This is going to help out the Baltimore foundation.  You can purchase the baseball for $69.95. We have raised over $2millions dollars for children's charities."
