Darth Vader may not be the most well-known opponent in the ballpark this weekend as the Bisons will face 49-year old Jamie Moyer on Saturday night. The veteran pitcher signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday and is scheduled to start in the opener of the Bisons four-game set against the Tides, according to Orioles.com.

Moyer was designed for assignment by Colorado last week after going 2-5 with a 5.70ERA with the Rockies. The southpaw has pitched in 25 seasons in the big leagues with the Cubs, Rangers, Cardinals, Red Sox, Mariners, Phillies and Rockies. He also spent three years with the Orioles from 1993-1995.

Earlier this year, Moyer became the oldest pitcher in Major League history to record a win and an RBI. He was originally drafted in the 6th round of the 1984 draft by the Cubs.
