Is she wearing a Pirates hat? If so, do you have one? What's in her hand? A cowbell? I like "old" photos too....a lot of times you'll see stuff you "need" in them.

She's an Orioles fan. The cowbell was a Baltimore tradition dating back to the team's International League days. Still had some fans that did it when I used to go sit in the bleachers in Memorial Stadium in the late '80's. I hesitate to say "Baltimore tradition" because the O's certainly weren't the only group of fans to use a cow bell!
