Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini made his return to baseball last week when the Notre Dame product was in the O’s opening day lineup at Boston before a trip to the Bronx and taking on the Yankees.
Thursday saw Mancini and the Orioles open the home portion of their season and he was greeted multiple times with standing ovations by the home fans after battling colon cancer the entire 2020 season.
Mancini had a hit in four plate appearances while scoring a run on Thursday, but the Orioles fell to Boston, 7-3.
Here is how Mancini was met by his home crowd during pre-game introductions and before his first at-bat:
