Adam Jones Defies O's Pie Ban With Cake After Walk-Off Win 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 5, 2016 8:43 pm

Before the season, the Baltimore Orioles banned Adam Jones' ritual of smashing pies in player's faces to celebrate victories, citing safety concerns.

The rule went out the window after Matt Wieters delivered a walk-off Opening Day win with a single Monday. Jones got Wieters with a cake as he was being interviewed on the field.

"You want to talk about the game or pies?" Jones told The Baltimore Sun. "I'll probably get a letter. I'll plead the Fifth."

Buck Showalter was also asked to comment on Jones breaking the pie rule.

"I've lost control of the team again," Showalter joked. "Pick the battles worth winning, right? It had some kind of orange look to it. It looked very cakey to me."
