To me it would seem to be good business for the O's to move the game and allow fans of both teams to attend both events. It would be a celebration of Baltimore sports and I am sure would boost the attendance of the baseball game. Fans would love it much like was done a few years ago in Philly when multiple fans attended the Eagles game in the afternoon and took their rowdiness down the street to watch the Phillies play in the WS. I had more than a few family members and friends make that double header and had a blast.
(BTW having grown up in the 80's in the DMV the O's were and still are my baseball team)

This September, the Orioles will be in first-place. NOT an O's fan saying this either, but the Yankees and Red Sox will both be bad this season...the Blue Jays always are and the Rays will be the only real AL East competition for Baltimore.
I think they should stick to their schedule. Seriously, why can't they play on Rosh Hosana? Are there that many Jewish players? Even so, they're made to play on Christian holidays...
