Fred Tyler has worked thousands of Orioles games, wins and losses and rainouts, from Memorial Stadium to Camden Yards, first a kid helping his neighborhood team and now a baseball lifer in an increasingly technical, professionalized industry.
In short: Tyler has seen everything. But this October will bring him something different.
He’s spent his life working for his hometown team—but almost entirely in the visitors’ clubhouse. Yet after more than 40 combined years taking care of the opposition, Tyler is now the home clubhouse manager, and as the Orioles try to make a deep run in October, they’ll do it with him working not just for them but with them.
