BALTIMORE — Sometimes they can be the most despised people in a stadium, making one decision that costs your team a game.

But on Tuesday, the umpiring crew calling the Orioles-Blue Jays game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards provided smiles for patients at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

Umpires Ryan Addition, Mark Carlson, Nick Mahrley and Jordan Baker delivered Build-A-Bear furry friends, outfits, baseball-themed activity books and more to children who needed a pick-me-up. The Oriole Bird also popped in for an appearance.

The event was put on by the non-profit UMPS CARE, which provides financial, in-kind and emotional support for families in need.
