Just because the Baltimore Orioles are struggling right now, it doesn't mean that folks can't have a good time at Camden Yards, the historic home of the club that is consistently ranked among the best venues in Major League Baseball.

The Orioles are in the midst of a series against the Detroit Tigers , and are who are 4-6 in their last 10 games while having posted a 13-12 record at home. And one notable fan in attendance for Sunday's matinee at Camden Yards is John Oliver.

Oliver, a comedian and host of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" on HBO, filmed a quick video for the Orioles to post on their official X account, while also saying that he briefly spoke with first baseman Pete Alonso before the game.

"Hi there, it's John Oliver here at Camden Yards, me and my kids just came down here," Oliver said via the Orioles on X, formerly known as Twitter. " Pete Alonso was nice enough to say hello before the game. We're having a fantastic time. Let's go O's!"

Oliver is a fan of the New York Mets , but recently disclosed that one of his sons has switched allegiance to the Orioles after Alonso signed a five-year, $155 million deal to join Baltimore in December.

"Watching him fall in love with this guy — he has a signed ball — and having to go into his room and say, 'Pete Alonso's going to Baltimore,' and he said, 'Are you sure I can't be an Orioles fan?'" Oliver said in February via MLB.com. "'We've had this discussion.'"

Even with Alonso, the Orioles are in last place in the AL East.
