The Baltimore Orioles will host Go Green
Night on St. Patrick's Day, Monday, March 17,
when the team faces the Minnesota Twins at
7:05 p.m., the team has announced.
The Orioles will wear black-and-green cartoon
bird caps for the contest, after which the caps
will be autographed and auctioned online at
orioles.com/spring as a benefit for the ani-
mal hospitals at Mote Marine Laboratory in
Sarasota, a news release points out.
"The Sarasota-based hospitals treat sick
and injured dolphins, small whales and sea
turtles with the goal of returning them to the
wild," the release explains. Fans can learn
more about Mote's animal hospitals at the
OriolesREACH community booth on the main
concourse during the game, the release adds.
The Orioles will also wear the black-and-
green cartoon bird caps for a March 17 game
at 1:05 p.m. against the Phillies in Clearwater.
Fans may bid online for those caps as well at
orioles.com/spring from 1:05 p.m. on Monday,
March 17, through Monday, March 24, at 11:59
p.m., the release continues.
