The BEVys are here!

After months of obsessing, planning, and teasing, the 2013 BEVy Awards show is here! The BEVys is an annual award show presented by the Bird’s Eye View podcast to recognize outstanding praise- and mock-worthy achievements by the Baltimore Orioles, their fans, related media, and anyone else who looks at us the wrong way.

The show features an embarrassing opening, guest appearances by some of our friends and colleagues in the Bird-o-sphere, and special musical appearances by Orioles-related musical acts. It’s very important that as you listen to the show, you lower your expectations, and keep them on the floor.
