VIDEO: Manny Machado Crushes a Massive Home Run in Return to Oriole Park
Manny Machado showed his former team's fans love upon arrival at Camden Yards, and the fans reciprocated that love ahead of his first at-bat. But when he smoked a huge home run in his old ball park, the reaction was a bit more mixed.
It always hurts to give up a home run, even if it is to one of the city's most beloved former stars. Machado's blast was his 17th of the year, and he reminded the Baltimore crowd of what they're missing out on now that he's stationed the country in San Diego.
Machado was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers right before last season's trade deadline, and left LA for San Diego this past summer thanks to a 10-year, $300 million deal.
