I think you might want to write a letter to
The Baltimore Sun because they also, heaven forbid, refer to the Orioles in the title of an article as the O's and they refer to their fantastic ballpark as
CAMDEN YARDS. Take a deep breath now. It's in an article today's paper. I'll increase the font so you can see it properly. But you can be assured that in the article they are referred to the Orioles also as the Orioles.
Second time is charm for Borkowski
O's officials remembered, had faith in Tigers castoff

When the Detroit Tigers released David Borkowski last year, setting the scene for his stirring comeback with the Orioles, it wasn't your typical baseball transaction.
Growing up in Michigan, Borkowski knew about everything there was to know about the Detroit franchise. He can still remember skipping grade school to watch his beloved Tigers play in the 1984 and 1987 playoffs.
...
A new wave of pitching prospects had arrived, and for all his determination, Borkowski's arm strength simply wasn't coming back.
"I was devastated," said Borkowski, who takes a 2-2 record into tonight's start against the Seattle Mariners in the second game of a doubleheader at Camden Yards. "I didn't want to leave, but I just packed my stuff and got out of there as soon as I could."

Hmmmm, right next to this story is a lead article in the sports section about Mary Lou Retton who made an appearance at a skybox.....where? The newspaper stated that she was in Camden Yards. How can that be if it there is no ballpark with that name?
Time can't tarnish her golden moment
Mary Lou Retton is 36 now, but she's ageless in the minds of those who saw her in the Olympics 20 years ago.

Mary Lou Retton is antsy. The trademark million-watt smile snaps off as if controlled by an invisible switch. She is giving orders.
"No, not five minutes, three. And we'll walk," she says to a reporter seeking an interview.
"No, I'm not going in there. I've seen it," she says to a temporary assistant who is trying to get her into a quiet, air-conditioned room at Baltimore's Gerstung Center, away from the noise of a hundred rambunctious gymnastics campers and the humidity of a summer day.
"Where's my car? Why did you bring me this way?" she grills one of the people trailing behind her. "It's time to go. I have to go."
Yes, Mary Lou Retton - America's Sweetheart, the athlete who can be identified by her first name alone, the blast of energy who turned millions of little girls into gymnasts with her gold-medal performance in the 1984 Summer Games - is not to be trifled with this day.
She is no cardboard cutout, no cartoon character to be used as a prop or posed this way and that. She is away from her family on a pre-Olympic promotional tour, and every hour apart is agonizing. This day, she has one more appearance in Baltimore - a meet and greet at a Camden Yards skybox. And so, it seems, she is itching to wrap up loose ends before flying back to Texas.

Time to write a letter to the editor because the local newspaper refers to a ballpark which you say doesn't exist in two articles today. ^ Is this a case of bad reporting? Or is this the case of local nicknames taking over.
