FLYING FIRST-CLASS: ORIOLES OFFER NEW INTERNET SERVICE

          The Orioles began offering their own "nationwide dial-
     up" Internet service yesterday, according to Michael Stroh
     of the Baltimore SUN, who wrote "the service offers fans
     their own `vanity' e-mail addresses and Web pages."  Stroh:
     "So now you can be joe@theorioles.com."  Stroh added that
     the Orioles are also "planning to offer" Web subscribers
     exclusive online chat sessions with coaches and players,
     live Web cameras that broadcast batting practice, and "the
     ability to listen in" during the preseason draft sessions. 
     The service, which is provided by N.Y.-based UltraStar,
     costs $14.95 a month for "unlimited" Internet access.  Team
     officials said that fans who "want to keep their current"
     Internet service provider but "still want access" to online
     chats and "other perks" will pay a reduced rate (SUN, 7/26).
