Jones helped create the last successful era of Orioles baseball so it was fitting that they honored him while they're contending again.
But when it got serious, you could tell how much this moment mattered to Jones, who along with his wife, Audie, poured money into building Boys & Girls Clubs and YMCA’s. He was so integral to the city that Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott officially declared Friday Adam Jones Day.Jones’ legacy isn’t just baseball, but don’t think Jones doesn’t notice every fan who is wearing No. 10. His brother-in-law, who lives in the area, still texts him photos of Jones’ jersey around town.
And not just with the fans. Jones’ ceremony brought a dozen former Orioles players and staff back to Camden Yards, including Markakis — who caught Jones’ first pitch —, Darren O’Day, Tommy Hunter, Wei-Yin Chen and Mychal Givens. Others — including Wieters, Trey Mancini, Ryan Flaherty and J.J. Hardy — offered congratulations in a video compilation that also featured Jones’ good friend CC Sabathia.
