When manager Buck Showalter found out that slain New York police officer Brian Moore was an Orioles fan, he immediately wanted to do something for Moore's family.. The Mets already had planned to hold a moment of silence before Tuesday's interleague game against the Orioles at Citi Field to honor Moore, a 25-year-old officer who was shot in the head Saturday in Queens, N.Y., and died Monday. A man has been arrested and charged with his murder.

Kudos to the Oriole's/Mets organizations for a job well done to honor this fallen hero.

May you rest in peace Mr. Moore.

I watched the game on TV last night and the tribute was very moving. I read elsewhere that Officer Moore had purchased a ticket so he had been planning to attend the game. Just so sad.

I missed the riots all over the country on account of this fine officer’s death. Were they bad? /s

Peace for his soul and his family.

The young LEO was assassinated. What say you rioting scumbags in Baltimore?

This is the 3rd LEO recently assassinated in NYC. Another LEO from Long Island was murdered by a ‘thug’ just a few years ago — a regular guy who put his life on the line to support his daughters.

No I think we are all upset at his death, and he was so young too.

It’s all good.

Looking forward to reading more of you here.,
