This is certainly not an important matter but thought it may be of interest to some.

This is an AP article I lifted from the STrib web site.

 

SARASOTA, Fla. — Bye-bye, Oriole pie.

Over the last several years, the Baltimore Orioles often celebrated victories with center fielder Adam Jones smashing a pie in the hero's face. Among the teammates he tagged, in fact, was Felix Pie.

Now, the team has decided to end the practice for safety reasons.

The ritual became so ingrained that Jones arranged with a local bakery to furnish the pies. Not all players were fond of Jones' antics, which generally came when an Orioles player was being interviewed on television.

Jones tweeted the news on Saturday.

"It's no one's fault. It's just about safety. At the end of the day it can be dangerous so we're being smart," Jones wrote.

Baltimore players will try and come up with a less hazardous celebration.

Someone was told to stop doing something by someone else of higher authority and he complied without public protest, complaint or indignation?

 

Well done Mr. Jones, very classy.

now if only someone would say that throwing  sunflower seeds at pitchers being interviewed isn't safe!!

Maybe Adam Jones never thought of just using whipped cream or shaving cream.

As a proponent of a good time, I rule against the Orioles and the no-fun league shenanigans. Let there be pie in the face! Let there be shoe strings on fire! Let there be icy-hot on the jock straps!
