After 13 years as an Oriole, Brian Roberts hits HR on first pitch as a visitor at Camden Yards

After 13 years as an Oriole, Brian Roberts hits HR on first pitch as a visitor at Camden Yards

On July 14, 1999, Brian Roberts signed a contract to play professional baseball with the Baltimore Orioles after the team selected him in the first round of that year's MLB Amateur Draft. After 13 seasons and two All-Star appearances in black and orange, Roberts opted for Yankees pinstripes during the 2014 offseason. 

Friday night marked the first Yankees-Orioles game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards of the 2014 season and in the top of the second inning, Brian Roberts clobbered his fifth home run of the year on the very first pitch he ever saw as a vistor at Camden Yards.
