Every year, usually the weekend before Opening Day at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles throw a party for their fans. For a very reasonable admission, O's fans come to Camden Yards to start off the 2008 season right with the FanFest Celebration. They can meet the current Orioles players, get their autographs and watch an open workout plus a lot more fun.
