Comeback of the Year Could Be Coleman for Orioles
Touring East with the Orioles Bailey Goss reports on Joseph Patrick Coleman, a 31-year-old right hander whose five wins this season may earn him the Comeback of the Year award. Once troubled by a chronic shoulder problem, Coleman’s recovery appears complete and he projects his best major league season yet. Also notes Don Larsen’s single status joke, Choppin’ Wood antics, Dykes’ aspirin supply, and various Orioles personalities.
