In November 2008, Major League Baseball's (MLB) Baseball Tomorrow Fund (BTF) published an article reviewing the 2008 BTF/MLB Equipment Day collections. The article specifically highlighted the exceptional collection done by the Oriole Advocates:
"One of the most impressive showings was, for the second straight year, the Orioles. Baltimore fans came out in droves and donated approximately 8,500 items and over $6,000 to benefit the Oriole Advocates. These collection results are a true testament to the growth of the Equipment Day initiative. In 2005, the combined total for all of the participating clubs was 4,374 items. Now, just three seasons later, the Orioles almost single-handedly doubled that total."
