Royals 4, Orioles 2, Hon!


Baltimore, MD, May 27, 2012:  No sooner did we realize that we had been in and out of Baltimore for years and never been to an Orioles game at Camden Yards, than we received an invitation from the Baltimore-Annapolis Chapter of the KU Alumni Association.  The day turned out to be HOT AS HELL with sunshine in the low 90s and humidity almost as high.  While many of the fans were chain drinking beer, we stuck with sodas, peanuts and frozen orangeade.
This memorial echoes the memorial wall at Baltimore's former Memorial Stadium.
This is a memorial to Memorial Stadium.
The Eutaw Street entrance frames Baltimore's iconic Bromo Seltzer Tower.

The birthplace of Babe Ruth is only a few short blocks away from Orioles Park.  Just follow the sidewalk baseballs.

Batter up.

Where's the ball?





Save at first base.
Heading for home.
