BALTIMORE — From the owner’s box at Camden Yards, David Trone gazed out at the crowd — a sea of Orioles fans in orange and black — and pronounced himself one of them.
“We grew up all our lives rooting for the Orioles,” the 67-year-old congressman, who was raised in Pennsylvania near the Maryland border, said at the team’s sold-out home opener last month.
As the Orioles sought to dispatch the New York Yankees, Trone had his own mission inside the two-level VIP suite: to shore up his Baltimore bona fides as he prepared to campaign for the U.S. Senate in next year’s Democratic primary.
