How can you top a home run celebration of pouring water into a funnel and having the home run hitter drink it from a hose? The 2024 Orioles have found their answer in the homer hydration station, which has four hoses available so that now the guy who hit the homer and any baserunner can participate. That’s a fun gimmick taken to a fun new level. The first grand slam is going to be glorious.
Our friends at BreakingT are out with a new shirt to help everybody stay hydrated with the instantly recognizable shape of the hydration station. MASN’s Kevin Brown suggested it looked kind of like one of the aliens from The War of the Worlds. Ben McDonald thought it looked like udders. What it definitely looks like is the Orioles having a good time while they are winning.
Sure, you could go out and buy your own station. They apparently retail for $90. But honestly, where are you going to put that thing? You can just get the shirt, which is cheaper, will take up less space, and can be brought into Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Don’t forget to actually stay hydrated. This shirt is available in adult sizes small through 3XL as both a t-shirt and a hoodie, and youth sizes small to XL.
BreakingT’s shirts are usually available in the team store at Camden Yards, but they’re going to cost you more there, even if you count shipping. If you like the look of any of these new 2024 shirt designs, get it cheaper here and support your hard-working Camden Chat site manager – which is to say, me – in the process. Thank you for your consideration.
Maybe you don’t feel like explaining the whole origin of the hydration station to the non-Orioles fans in your life. As a habitual avoider of conversations that seem like they might be awkward, I get it. More straightforward is this 2024 edition of the Birdland acrostic shirt, including player names we’ll hopefully see doing good things all year:
