Joan Jett Loves the Baltimore Orioles So Much She Photobombed Their Team Photo

By Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter August 30th

Joan Jett is a big Baltimore Orioles fan. That was proven when she took in their Monday (August 28) night game at Camden Yards.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame received the All-Star treatment at the park. Part of that included spending time in the broadcast booth with Orioles TV announcers Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald. During her time in the booth, it was revealed the Orioles took their 2023 team photo that day. Jett happened to photobomb the team pic! (She can be seen in the top right of the team photo.) Jett said she purposely photobombed the pic, but she was initially in the middle of the shot.

 

Later on in the broadcast, Jett can be heard cheering for a base hit from Ryan O’Hearn that brought in two runs. Jett apologized for her outburst. Sure, there’s the understood rule of “no cheering in the press box.” However, rock legends like Jett can have at least one pass.

 

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts: Looking Back at their Rock Hall Induction

Jett and The Blackhearts were part of a diverse Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class that included the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Lou Reed, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble and Bill Withers.

The band was inducted by Miley Cyrus who delivered an animated and passionate speech about Jett’s influence, as well as the first time the two met. The band’s mini-induction set featured both Cyrus and Dave Grohl and included performances of “Bad Reputation,” The Runaways‘ song “Cherry Bomb ” and “Crimson and Clover,” with a guest appearance from Tommy James.
