As if I needed another reason to like Orioles President of Baseball Operations Andy MacPhail, I got a musical one the other night.

Taking advantage of the rain delay Tuesday night (gotta love those ninth-inning interruptions), I tracked MacPhail in the hallway outside the press dining room. He was looking at the frames photos of Orioles who have appeared on covers of magazines such as Sports Illustrated.

We spent about five minutes talking about the upcoming MLB draft, and a few questions in to the interview, MacPhail's cell phone started making music to indicate an incoming call.

But not just any music. It was Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville," the chorus to be exact.

Yes, it appears Andy MacPhail is a Parrothead.

We spoke for a few seconds about Buffett and I mentioned that I was going to Citizens Bank Park in a couple of weeks for my 85th show since 1978. MacPhail smiled, but stopped short of wishing he could attend. Of course, there's much more demanding business with rebuilding Baltimore's baseball club.
