Orioles’ Pete Alonso Invites John Oliver’s Family to Camden Yards After Son’s On-Air Plea

The slugger responded to Oliver’s story by offering batting-practice access at a game for the eight-year-old fan.

Overview

  • Baltimore posted a video Wednesday of Alonso inviting Oliver and his family to a game at Camden Yards with on-field access for batting practice.
  • Oliver recounted on Late Night with Seth Meyers that his 8-year-old, who cherishes a signed Alonso ball, asked if he could root for the Orioles after the move.
  • Oliver said he told his son he could not change teams, signaling he intends to remain a Mets fan despite his son's interest in Baltimore.
  • Alonso joined the Orioles on Dec. 11 with a five-year, $155 million contract after seven seasons with the Mets.
  • No visit by the Oliver family has been announced, and the Orioles’ outreach came through the club’s official social media accounts.
