I Scream, You Scream, Even the Ravens Scream for Ice Cream!

By Jeff Seidel

Summer training camp can often be a tough and painful task for football players. But the Baltimore Ravens gave their players—and coaches—a well-received treat on Monday afternoon. 

Late in practice, a pair of ice cream trucks rolled up to the back end of one of the practice fields at the Ravens complex in Owings Mills, delighting a number of players who quickly came by when their drills were done. 

The trucks sat near the goal post on one of the fields right next to the team's building. They quickly became popular when music from those trucks began playing and announced their appearance just before 5 p.m., when the day's practice was scheduled to end.
