I’m not sure if this is cute or absurd, but I do know this…this poor kid really had no other choice but to be a Baltimore Orioles fan, did he?
Thursday, ten-year-old Camden Yards, alongside his parents, hit, wait for it, Camden Yards to catch the Orioles take on the Cincinnati Reds. That’s right, this kid’s parents named him “Camden” because, naturally, they “thought it was a great name just because of the tradition of baseball”. Ugh. Then again, I grew up not far from Chicago where naming your kid or pet anything having to do with the Cubs (i.e. Wrigley, Sheffield, Waveland, etc.) is commonplace.

Alright, alright, I might be being a little harsh on the Yards family. It isn’t like they named their kid after Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Or Save-on-Foods Memorial Center.
Or KFC Yum! Center.
Do I need to continue?
