Took my family to the Northernmost Southern City, Baltimore - for a long weekend thing. Object of the trip was to see the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim play the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. First time to the park that Cal made famous for me and in a word - WOW. Great place to see a ballgame.
Now growing up where I am, I have been to Shea and Yankee Stadiums dozens of times. Too many to count. I know that YS has all the mystique (I don't buy it) but it's old. Shea is a dump. So we go to the Inner Harbor and Oriole Park at Camden Yards and I am nearly in BB Heaven. Got to shake hands (and the kids got autographs) with Boog Powell, who makes a mean BBQ (Boog's Barbecue), got some foul balls, sat in some great seats, saw a good game. The experience of the whole place was like magic.
Other things we did - National Aquarium, walked the Inner Harbor and ate some food. Odd thing - we stopped at an "Irish Pub" to eat on the water. I ordered a Corned Beef Sandwich. Great meat, but served cold. Never had a cold CB sammy before. Strange. I'll have to investigate. Crabcakes were great as well.
