“Your Dreams Were Your Ticket Out”

Since Lew Ford's last hit in the major leagues, he's played for Hanshin in Japan's Central League, Long Island in the Atlantic League, and Oaxaca in the Mexican League. That last hit came nearly five years ago.

Until Tuesday night. Playing in his third game with the Orioles, Ford doubled in the third inning, and eventually scored to give the O's an 8-5 lead over the Yankees.
