Orioles outfielder Lew Ford has had 11 at-bats over the last five years. Ford recorded a hit on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, his first Major League knock since Sept. 21, 2007 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. He made stops in Japan, Louisville, Mexico and Norfolk and parts of three summers on Long Island. "You know, you're out of the majors for one year, it's hard," Ford said. "Five years out? I realized how difficult it was going to be. So I just enjoyed what I was doing."
