As did Alomar who took his spot at second base while being serenaded with a

But once the Orioles and Indians got game one of their series underway they
were hitting instead of spitting.
Brady Anderson leads off the game with a solo homer to right and it's
1-to-nothing Orioles.
The Indians Manny Ramirez would answer that with a solo shot of is own to
left field. It's 1-to-1 in the top of the second.
B.J. Surhoff would answer that one for the Orioles with another solo blast to
right center in the bottom of the second.
