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 will most likely occur, especially with the NFL moving the start back, but it is more complicated than the O's deciding, both the White sox and the MLBPA will have to agree to the move. Also Sept is usually booked with make up days due to early season rain delays.
