How much do you love baseball? How much do you love kids? Enough to bake for three hours on the bleachers of Lancaster’s Clipper Magazine Stadium?

It was Summer Camps Day at the ballpark Wednesday, which called for the Barnstormers and Bluefish to take the field at 11:05 a.m., just in time for their young fans to sizzle in the stands.

The Baltimore Orioles didn’t have it much better. They played a 3:05 game against Seattle at Camden Yards, where we assume walk-up sales were probably a bit lacking.
