Orioles to celebrate Kids' Opening Day on Sunday, April 7, 2019
The fifth annual Kids' Opening Day will be held Sunday, April 7 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards when the Orioles host the New York Yankees at 1:05 p.m.
The celebration will welcome children and their families to a new season of Orioles Baseball with many fun activities and unique gameday opportunities for several lucky kids throughout the day.
Highlights Include
- The first 7,500 fans ages 14 and under will receive an Orioles Lunch Bag, presented by Weis Markets
- Additionally, all fans ages 4-14 will be able to participate in a postgame Kids Run the Bases, presented by Weis Markets
- Among the most exciting elements of Kids' Opening Day are opportunities for children ages 14 and under to be selected to participate in pregame experiences.
- 11 randomly selected young Orioles fans will receive a memorable lifetime experience later that day:
- Nine children will be selected to take the field with the Orioles starters for the national anthem;
- One child will help deliver the lineup card during the pregame exchange at home plate;
- One child will say "Play Ball!" to mark the start of the game
- There will be plenty of in-game entertainment for children as well, including the "Tweet for a Bird Visit" promotion in which fans tweet for the chance to have the Oriole Bird deliver an Orioles prize pack to their seats.
- Children are also strongly encouraged to show their Orioles spirit with costumes and signs, and some of the most-supportive young fans will receive Orioles autographed items for their efforts.
- Plus, join us as we celebrate the Oriole Bird's birthday! Come to the Kids' Corner at 11:00 a.m. for a special birthday party, cake and pictures with the Oriole Bird and his friends from UMBC, University of Maryland, Aberdeen Ironbirds, Bowie Baysox and Utz.
