No more pies to the face from Adam Jones.

Jones had to give the bad news to Baltimore Orioles' fans Saturday; news that was so terrible he had to first tease it on Twitter:

Jones, a prankster who made pies to the face a regular Orioles' postgame tradition over the past few seasons, will no longer be allowed to deliver the baked goods to teammates' kissers because of safety concerns.

Jones surprised a number of people with tasty treats to the face in the past, including slugger Chris Davis, Astros mascot Orbit, and even a collection of Orioles fans, but he shied away from delivering one to normally serious skipper Buck Showalter in April.
