Aberdeen IronBirds To Pay Homage To Maryland's State Crustacean

The Baltimore Orioles' short-season Single-A affiliate, Aberdeen IronBirds, will change their name, for one day, to become the Steamed Crabs in an effort to pay homage to Maryland's state crustacean.



The Baltimore Sun is reporting that Aberdeen will debut special Steamed Crabs uniforms against the West Virginia Black Bears on August 11.



On the front, mascot Kalvin the Krab will be wielding a mallet. On the right sleeve, there will be a Maryland state flag patch; and vertical pinstripes, "to acknowledge the long and arduous process Maryland crabbers experience every day to deliver the world's best blue crabs."
