I think my love of the Orioles really started diminishing when Chuck, who just died this winter, only did play by play on an occassional basis. Having the team suck for so many years didn't help either. Hawaiian Tropic had/has that deep tanning oil with that great coconut smell but for some reason the slightly medicinal smell of Coppertone is the definitive smell of summers at the beach! On occassion I've been known to sneak a sniff, especially during the winter, on trips to the local Target.
