@@Eddunaway-qp5tv years ago when Mike Shannon’s restaurant was still in downtown, they did a Friday night post game wrap up from his dining room. I went and was lucky enough to sit by the table where they had their mics set up. During a commercial break, he came over, asked me how my meal was, and signed a ball for me. Pretty surreal.

@@christinat.7264 sorry, I have no idea what goes into that.

I'm impress with the busch stadium tour.

Just saw a clip of it!

It is great…love how they include the museum admission too.

@@dereksdestinations Yep. Love the Museum too. Especially getting to hold one of Ozzie Smit's bats. He's my favorite baseball player of all time.

You mean the white cabinets? They are from IKEA, called “brimnes”

@@dereksdestinations do u have a link

@@dereksdestinations the hats u collect r they part of collection or something u wear I have a lot I’m trying to do something with

I don’t have a link. You’ll have to go to the IKEA site and search brimnes. The hats are autographed so they are just for display.

@@dereksdestinations thank u

Thanks! The Ozzie poster shows some age, but I still love it too. Lots has been updated so I have to do a pt 2!

Hi, I’m just seeing this message. Thank you. He is truly missed!

Nice views of the inner harbor area from the WTC!

Originally they wanted to knock down the Warehouse and build the Baltidome for the Colts and Os, I’m glad they went with the stadium complex instead, I will be going to the Ravens training camp practice at 12:30 pm and might make sort of a double header and buy a ticket to the Yankees-Os game that night.

@@rockvilleraven Cool, you should buy a ticket to the O’s game. I’m actually from the Cleveland area, so I’m a Guardians fan. But, the Orioles are such a cool organization.

@@MasonBrumbaugh Fun fact: Both Baltimore ballparks were used for the baseball scenes in Major League 2. Camden Yards was the Indiana home field, Memorial Stadium was used for the road game scenes and was home for their AA affiliate Bowie Baysox that year while their stadium was still under construction, they averaged 7000 a game that year and closed the upper deck. Drew 15000 when Mussina was on a rehab assignment.

@@rockvilleraven Cool, never knew.

I believe he only played as a minor leaguer.

@@dereksdestinationsBut the Summer College Baseball League in the DC area is the Cal Ripken, Sr. league

I appreciate it!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

As a St. Louis area resident and lifelong Cardinals fan, I appreciate your comment. Come see a game, you won't regret it, win or lose. Lots to do in the Lou, you can also see the Clydesdales at Grants Farm. Used to be free years ago, not sure about now.

They had a great season!

@@dereksdestinations next seaon is going to be insane! Getting season tickets next year agian

Thank you!

I think I might actually have an extra to sell if you were really interested.

Glad to see they are back at .500

Have fun! Great park!

I actually just went back in April. While the structure is still beautiful, they need to update their video boards because they are showing some age.

Well your comment aged well , don’t hop on the bandwagon now sir

It’s April 2023... O’s are looking good... again.

aged like milk

Thanks. I barely have other teams in the room, but I do have some Tigers newsclippings from the ‘34 series. That’s who the famous gas house gang faced. Some big Detroit names on that roster.

@@dereksdestinations cool

Thank you. I made this video when we lived in our old condo and did it up only during Halloween. When we moved into a new home, we didn’t have room for that big wall unit so it now sits in our garage…decorated with HM stuff year round!

Good question. I’d say most are accurate. Tv captures and lots of vendors out on the street to witness. I’ll say this…Griffey’s is right on bc you could go back and watch the replay of the HR derby. I was at a game in 2011 when Lance Berkman of the Cardinals hit a grill where Boog’s BBQ once stood. So that one is an approximate spot where it would have hit the ground a few feet below the grill.

They have employees who stand out in that area during the games

Agreed!

Understood and thanks, I appreciate it!

Thank you. It’s funny you mentioned Zeile bc he was my first autograph of what became many. I live in NJ and strangely he did a card show in my area. Congrats on the Braves WS win!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I like this park

I’m finally going to see it just over a month from now!

Thanks Ken. I appreciate the comment and follow. Looking to do more videos again this summer.

Jealous! Have fun!
