Celebrate the Century - Baltimore Baseball

Baseball in Baltimore goes back as far as 1901 when the Milwaukee Brewers played in the American League (then a minor league), until 1902 when the team relocated to St Louis as the Browns. In 1954 the franchise was purchased by a Baltimore syndicate of businesses. The franchise selected the name Orioles in honor of the Maryland state bird.  The name had been previously used by other major and minor league clubs located in Baltimore. A prior Orioles franchise relocated in 1903 to become the New York Yankees

The Orioles have won the Baseball World Series in 1966, 1973 and 1980

Babe Ruth, was born in Baltimore, and his family's bar was located in what is now centerfield in Camden Yards. The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum is located in Baltimore

The Baltimore Elite Giants participated in the Negro Leagues from 1920 to 1950, starting out as the Nashville Standard Giants, 1920, moving to Baltimore in 1938

Trenton (Buffalo Bisons) e-ticket

Due to continued Covid-19 travel restrictions, the Toronto Blue Jays will again play their home games at Sahlen Field, Buffalo. That has forced their AAA-affiliate team, the Buffalo Bisons to find accommodations for their home games. 

When the NY Yankees pulled their affiliation from Trenton, that left the former Arm & Hammer Park (Waterfront Park) without a team. A deal was brokered and the Bison found a temporary home, with a strange twist. During home games played in Trenton, the Bisons players will wear Trenton Thunder Uniforms, while on the road they will wear their Bisons uni

Cover was signed by Red Sox hitting coach Rich Gedman, prior to the game. Gedman mentioned they were not supposed to mingle with fans, however after we both mentioned we were vaccinated he agreed to sign the cover for me. I did not attempt to obtain any other signatures due to the restrictions
