The Baltimore Orioles paid tribute to the individuals who lost their lives in a tragic shooting at a newspaper office.
On Thursday, five people lost their lives when a gunman opened fire in the newsroom of the Capital Gazette, a daily newspaper published in Annapolis, Maryland. On Friday, the Orioles had a pregame moment of silence and made a memorial in their press box.

John McNamara was a sports writer for the newspaper for more than 20 years and was a familiar face at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
