Visit with wounded veterans has big impact on O’s

It’s not as if the Orioles needed a harsh lesson in life’s perspective, manager Buck Showalter said on Monday, but they were given one anyway. With a makeup game at Nationals Park in the offing on Monday night, Showalter, his wife, Angela, and nine players visited the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. There they spent two hours visiting with wounded veterans, most of them having returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
