It isn’t only young players who make their big league debut on Opening Day.

It happens throughout Camden Yards each year. New ushers, new staff members, new concession workers and new media members.

On Thursday, Ty Lohr, a staff photographer and writer for The Evening Sun in Hanover, Pa., shot his first Opening Day representing BaltimoreBaseball.com.

Lohr was pinch-hitting for our staff photographer, Joy R. Absalon, who returns to the park this weekend after some extended spring training.

As I think you will agree, Ty did a heck of a job in his first day at Camden Yards.

Of course, it was a heck of a game to shoot on a beautiful afternoon in Baltimore. Check out these dozen images from Thursday.
