The Baltimore Orioles Double-A affiliate, the Bowie Baysox, announced Monday that Washington fans can join the team on Thursday to "commemorate this moment of transition" after the Snyder family announced last week that it had reached a deal to sell the franchise to a group led by American businessman Josh Harris.
