The picture is from the JSC Facebook Page more pictures can be seen at Photos of Orioles Visit. Astronauts Ricky Arnold (in the blue on the left) and Terry Virts (in the blue on the right). Ricky Arnold is a Baltimore Orioles fan being from Maryland. Terry Virts is also from Maryland. Missing from the tour group is astronaut Greg Wiseman who is from Baltimore, MD (To round out the trio of astronauts from MD). Wiseman is assigned to be part of Expedition 40/41 to the ISS, so he is most likely in the thick of training for his stay on ISS which is scheduled to be launched in March of 2014.
I missed the visit myself because I was working the night shift but I heard it during handover from the Public Affairs Officer (call sign PAO).
The Red Sox come to town August 5-7 to play the Astros. I am looking at astronauts Sunita Williams, Commander of Expedition 33 (Needham, MA) and Chris Cassidy, currently on the ISS, (York, ME) both avid Red Sox fans to get those guys to visit MCC.
