Orioles fans who spent hundreds of dollars to sit in the team’s Bird Bath Splash Zone were left frustrated on Saturday when Zay Flowers, slated to be the club’s guest splasher for the night, didn’t show.

Flowers, the Ravens wideout who was announced in June as the guest splasher, had apparently canceled without any announcement to that effect. Though the Orioles stopped promoting him, it wasn’t made clear to fans that he wasn’t coming.

“While we had included the appearance with our original announcement, we did not continue to promote,” an Orioles spokesman told the Baltimore Sun, adding that the team will “work with any fans who reach out for a satisfactory solution.”

Representatives for Flowers and for the Ravens didn’t comment to the Sun.

The Splash Zone, a feature at Camden Yards since 2023, is a popular feature at the ballpark in which fans get sprayed with water from Mr. Splash and a cast of guest splashers.

Flowers was announced June 18 as a guest splasher for Saturday, with the Orioles also saying he would throw out the first pitch. The post on X announcing it was deleted, but fans still bought tickets and paid a premium thinking he would be there.

Flowers did throw out the first pitch, making his absence from the splash zone all the more bizarre.

“We came to this game because he was supposed to be here,” Sarah Stanton, one such fan, whose family of 11 spent over $800, told the Sun. “We saw him on camera, but he just didn’t come here.”

Fans in the Splash Zone section chanted “We want Zay,” but had to settle instead for the pair of mascots.

“I’d say, at least let everybody know,” Chris Meyers, a fan whose fiancee spent $400 on tickets told the Sun. “But no, they just bring out the Ravens bird and that’s it. You know, people spent a lot of money on these tickets.”
