The Orioles in May: Relive the month with photos from Joy R. Absalon

One of the compliments Dan Connolly and I have continuously received from readers of BaltimoreBaseball.com centers on the excellence of the site’s photography.

We have Joy R. Absalon to thank for that.

Joy is our talented and diligent photographer, and we’re extremely fortunate that she’s part of the BaltimoreBaseball.com team. Besides featuring her photos within each article, we’re always looking for additional places to highlight her work. In that spirit, we’re launching a new feature: a photo gallery of Joy’s best shots from each month.

We hope you’ll enjoy looking back at the highs and lows of Orioles baseball through Joy’s lens on a monthly basis. The O’s may have limped through May with a 12-16 record, but there were still plenty of moments to remember. Lucky for us, Joy was there to capture them.
