Former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones was honored before Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, hours after he signed a ceremonial contract and retired with the franchise with which he spent the bulk of his career.
Jones jogged in from center field with his two sons at his side to a loud ovation. After a video montage featuring tributes from several former teammates, Jones threw an honorary first pitch to ex-Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis.
Jones played 11 of his 14 seasons in the majors with Baltimore, earning five All-Star appearances, four Gold Gloves and one Silver Slugger award. Jones was drafted by Seattle in 2003 and played parts of the 2006 and 2007 seasons with the Mariners. He was dealt in early 2008 to Baltimore as part of the return for pitcher Erik Bedard. With the Orioles committed to a rebuild, he signed with Arizona in 2019 before playing two seasons with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan.
