Went to Camden Yards last night
By john • Aug 27th, 2008 • Category: baltimore orioles, camden yards, major leaguesSo I went to Camden Yards last night. It had been a few years since I last went there but walking back though those gates brought back some memories.
While the game featured the Orioles (a team I grew up sometimes watching) and the White Sox (my wife’s favorite team) the real reason for going to this game was the free Webkinz black dog giveaway. It’s not that we collect the dolls but rather for our four and a half month old son.
We arrived at the ballpark about an hour before the first pitch was scheduled and while the stuffed animal was a little smaller then I had hoped the ballpark still looked as great as it had the first time I walked down Eutaw street.
The crowd was small which you can understand with it being Tuesday night, the Orioles in last, and the White Sox lack of a good draw as a road team.
Upon entering the stadium we got former Oriole Boog Powell to sign a ticket stub and I even got the 1970 AL MVP to pose for a picture with our son.
I think Carrie was more then impressed with the way things were run at Oriole Park and
Eating at the ballpark is not something I tend to do EVER but when your wife is breastfeeding and always hungry sometimes it happens. After spending 9.50 on a good sized nachos and coke Carrie felt the urge to get some of Boog’s BBQ. I suppose 9 dollars for a sandwich, beans and coleslaw isn’t all that bad.
