The Baltimore Orioles are providing complimentary tickets to fans seated in the Bird Bath section following a scheduling change regarding Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers. The team previously promoted Flowers as a guest splasher for Saturday's game at Oriole Park, where he was expected to participate in the tradition of spraying fans in left-center field after key plays. While Flowers appeared at the venue to throw out the first pitch and participate in a jersey giveaway, he did not perform the splashing duties. The organization publicly clarified that the decision to alter his schedule was made internally and that the athlete fulfilled all requested commitments. Management expressed regret for failing to communicate the change to ticket holders directly. Affected fans will be eligible for free tickets to a future home game, starting with the final homestand of the current season.
