1. Mossila "Mo" Gaba, Fan Marker

Inscription. Young Mo Gaba captured the hearts of fans as well as players with his knowledge and love of the Orioles as expressed in call-ins to local radio sports talk shows and his visits to Camden Yards, which earned him the second-ever Wild Bill Hagy Award for fans. Despite being blind and enduring four separate battles with cancers throughout his childhood, Gaba's positive attitude and infectious laugh inspired and brought joy to Orioles fans and players since he began calling in to 105.7 The Fan in 2015 at the age of nine, while also raising both money and awareness for cancer and blindness initiatives before hid death at age 14 in 2020.

Erected by Baltimore Orioles.
