Mike Bordick
Published: September 19, 2012
As a player, former Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick (1997-2002) has the third-best fielding percentage in baseball history. Measuring his performance in his current career—as a color commentator for Orioles baseball today, a job he started this year and shares with Orioles pitching legend Jim Palmer—is a matter of gut, not numbers. Our gut tells us this guy’s got what we like: a humble grasp of baseball knowledge, a soft-spoken authority, a quiet, comfortable confidence that goes well with the beer and banter we’re usually enjoying when we watch baseball. It’s new and it’s warm and welcoming—immeasurable qualities that sit well with our general optimism about Baltimore baseball these days, no matter how the season ends.
