There have been plenty of loud ovations today, from those for Orioles legends Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell to those for young stars Matt Wieters, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis to the roar that just went up when Miguel Tejada bashed a two-run homer to tie the score at 5.
But a rousing cheer also went up just minutes before Tejada's blast, when Maryland men's basketball coach Gary Williams was shown ascending one of the aisles.
Williams has always said he likes emotional players -- i.e. Greivis Vasquez -- so I'm sure he enjoyed watching the home run trot by Tejada, who looked pretty pumped up to deliver his first home run of the season and first as an Oriole since 2007.
