The Baltimore Orioles have announced that the press box at Camden Yards will be named in honor of Jim Henneman, a long-time baseball writer, scorekeeper, and mentor. Colleagues such as Peter Schmuck and Ken Rosenthal have expressed their admiration and respect for Henneman, acknowledging the significant impact he has had on their careers. The dedication of the press box is seen as a fitting tribute to a man described as a friend, mentor, great writer, and legend in the field.
This makes my day. “Henny” took me under his wing when I joined him at the late Baltimore Evening Sun as an Orioles beat writer in 1987. I was as inexperienced as they come, clueless really. And he could not have been kinder. Great to see the Orioles honor him like this. https://t.co/3lTdBV8QeH
