HBT: Mike Flacco is sticking with baseball

A few days ago?USA Today made mention of Orioles minor leaguer Mike Flacco considering giving up baseball to go play football like his brother Joe. Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun throws some cold water on that:

That?s not the plan, according to the Orioles.?Scout Dean Albany talked to Mike Flacco on Tuesday and says the first baseman has every intention of playing for the Orioles? organization in 2013.

?Mike?s a great kid and he?s working real hard to prepare himself for spring training,? Albany said. ?It?s a full go for him for baseball, that?s what he told me. He is real excited about spring training.?

Given that (a) his baseball chops appear not to be of Major League quality; and (b) he hasn?t played football since high school eight years ago, I think a more realistic story about him may be ?Mike Flacco considering law school? or ?Mike Flacco tapped to be the chairman of the Joe Flacco museum.?
