 The Babe Ruth Statue in
Baltimore by spgood301
Interestingly, though his statue is outside Camden Yards, Babe Ruth is more famous for another ballpark. Yankee Stadium in New York is known as "the House that Ruth built", because of his contributions to the game (and to the Yankees).
The Babe was born in Baltimore in 1895, & died in 1948. He's buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetary in Hawthorne NY, near my home. Baseball fans do visit his grave and leave mementos, something I've never done but hope to sometime. Leave a Comment

 Cal Ripken Jr. bats at Camden
Yards by AKtravelers
The attached picture is of Cal Ripken at bat during a game in 1996. We've had the pleasure of attending his record breaking "2131" game and the last game of his career. It was memorable to be there when a Baltimore icon nroke Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak and later when he retired. The team has not been the same without Cal. Leave a Comment

 A look at Oriole Park, through
the outfield gate by spgood301, 1 more photos
Of course, the best time to visit Camden Yards is to see a game, but it's worth a visit any time . The best way to see it is on Eutaw Street, which separates the outfield from the signature warehouse. On game days it's quite a social center, not to mention a great backdrop for the game, but just to peer into the stadium through the outfield gate, as I did, is quite a treat. The Orioles also offer ballpark tours for a $7 fee (kids and seniors pay $5). Call (410) 547-6234 for more info.
Camden Yards is located two blocks from the birthplace of Babe Ruth, one of America's most enduring baseball icons. There's a Babe Ruth Museum right in that spot. You can also check out the plaques of retired Orioles players at Camden Yards. The Orioles have fallen on hard times, but they used to be quite a team with many great players.
Camden Yards is one of America's most famous sports stadiums, and definitely worth a visit no matter what time of year. Leave a Comment Address: 333 West Camden Street · Baltimore, MD 21201Phone: (888) 848-BIRDWebsite: www.orioles.com

If you're going to visit the USA, you should attend at least one baseball game. One of the best parks to see a baseball game is the Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Conveniently situated right near the Inner Harbor, Camden Yards affords tremendous views of the game at reasonable prices. There are also all sorts of food stands, restaurants, shops, pubs, and beer stands inside the park. Some people just enter the park to stroll down Eutaw Street, eat, and drink beer (entrance fee without a seat: $10). Prices vary for seats; probably the best value are the Upper Deck sections right behind Home Plate for $20.
Camden Yards is only open when there's a baseball game, of course -- opening roughly 2 hours before game time. Beer is available until the end of the 7th Inning. Food stands generally close during the 9th Inning. One final note: once you enter the stadium, you may leave, but you will not be allowed to re-enter. Address: 333 West Camden Street · Baltimore, MD 21201Phone: 1-888-848-BIRD (US/Canada only)Directions: (1) MARC Train "Camden Line" to Camden Station.

Camden Yards was the first of the new generation of major league ballparks to be built at the end of the last century. A great combination of a classic setting with modern amenities. It's a blast! Leave a Comment Address: Downtown-west of Inner Harbor

Like all other NFL games I have been to the atmosphere in and outside the stadium is brilliant, we have so much to learn in the UK. Friendly banter with home and away fans passed the time until kickoff (beer and food is expensive in the stadium, but good quality, never mind).
The game itself was dissapointing, as the Browns were having a poor season most people were amazed when they scored a TD on their first possession, but, this was not to last the Ravens went on to win easily, 44-7 I think. Even so enjoyed very much and was pleased to see Baltimore win superbowl in Tampa last January.
