Good. I'm glad Niner gets to retire a Marlin. I enjoyed watching him play when he was an Oriole. And if I was manager I'd have Conine at 1B Coach with Surhoff as 3B Coach. Those guys would teach the young O's kids how to play the game right.

Conine = class act

pretty solid career...only 18 hits shy of 2000...and he called it quits with the right team...I am sure a lot of O's fans appreciate him as well, but he will be remembered most as a Marlin...

I hated Conine so much...but I'm a Cubs fan so I guess that's a respectful hate.

Yup. Conine was a 2 time WS Champ with the Marlins. He played part of 5 seasons with the O's. He never hit 20 HR or drove in 100 as an Oriole. But he was a great baseball player. He did it all the right way.

Nice to see that he will be able to retire as a Marlin. It's only fitting.
