The new baseball park being built for the Baltimore Orioles near downtown will be called Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Maryland Gov. William Donald Schaefer announced Thursday. The name represents a compromise between the governor and Oriole owner Eli Jacobs. Schaefer had pushed to name the stadium Camden Yards, after the historic rail yard where the stadium is being built. Jacobs insisted the facility be called Oriole Park. The agreement was reached over the weekend, Schaefer said.

Baseball's winter meetings don't have much color. The halls of power, for the most part, remain basic white. "The last couple of years, baseball has gone back to business as usual," said Frank Robinson, who wasn't referring to trade talks or free-agent signings. It is the view of Robinson and others in baseball that their sport has abandoned the minority hiring movement that followed an appearance by then-Dodger vice president Al Campanis on the television show, "Nightline," in April of 1987.
