Who is the Orioles fan, and where did he say it?
Carmelo Anthony, the retired NBA player, told Zagsblog on October 10, 2012 that he had been an Orioles fan since he was about 8 years old. He was born on May 29, 1984, in Brooklyn, New York, so the Orioles were not a hometown team in the usual sense.
How does it line up with where he went to school?
Anthony attended Towson Catholic in Towson, Maryland, before finishing high school at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. Towson is part of the Baltimore area, the Orioles' home city. That is the only Maryland connection in his background, and it is a school tie, not a stated reason for his fandom. His NBA career ran through the Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers.
