Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel unfazed by boos from Phillies fans at Camden Yards: ‘I definitely heard ‘em’

Craig Kimbrel’s heard worse.

The 15-year veteran, one of the most decorated closers in MLB history, is no stranger to the boo birds. Heck, even some Orioles fans let him hear it in May as he struggled through a rough patch.

That’s life as a closer.

So when the Phillies, his former team, visited Baltimore for a highly anticipated series this weekend, and Philadelphia fans made the short drive down Interstate 95 to invade Camden Yards, Kimbrel knew what to expect.

“I figured I’d get a nice reception,” he quipped.
