Baltimorons is Baseball Things, considered. An always passionate, frequently irreverent, and occasionally factual weekly romp through the wild world of O's baseball, adulthood, fandom in general. Join hosts Sam Dingman and Alan Smith, expatriate Birdbrains clinging to their orange torch in the wilds of New York City, as they marvel at the endless wonders of the cosmic narrative, from Baltimore to Brooklyn and beyond.
