When Camden Yards was being built, they took the building apart brick by brick and cleaned them and put the building back together. Fears about hitting the warehouse were real. 3. Eutaw St acts as a wind tunnel. While the wind pushes out to the warehouse, the Eutaw St. Wind tunnel takes a large chunk of it out. Take the tour. It's very informative and cool.

Excellent video, and great analysis. I've never been to Camden Yards. Went to old Memorial Stadium a lot in the early 80s, and almost every home game Saturday during the Orioles' 1983 WS run. That warehouse is absolutely iconic, and Camden has always been gorgeous on TV and in pictures. Hitting the warehouse at Camden is similar to hitting an apartment rooftop at Wrigley. It's just not all that feasible, as tantalizing as it may be, and have only happened once each (at least as far as I am aware at Wrigley). You have to hit the ball exceptionally hard and at a high angle that is usually enough to kill flight distance. The elevated base of the warehouse makes the difference, as if it was on the same level as home plate, there would be and additional 30 feet of fall range where the ball could still hit it... and make it much more likely. Case in point, the apartments at Wrigley get hit 4-5 times a year, minimum... but usually within 15 feet of ground level. I also wonder if there may be some manner of air pressure effect that builds up against the warehouse and causes HR balls to slow at a slightly higher rate in that space. That would be more likely with large crowd, and... well... they often can't give away tickets to Orioles' games the past few years.

[@deathtowrestling2518]

Cedric Mullins is the only thing giving me hope at this time

Going to Camden is one of the greatest experiences for any fan. I have the luxury of living in the same city as an Orioles fan. Just need the team to quit sucking

[@Titokhan2]

there is one other factor.. the warehouse itself working as a wind inhibitor.. a breeze blowing out to right field is great and all..but that breeze hits the warehouse likely creates a deadzone.. meaning the balls get the nice boost while still in the park.. but there's kind of a crosswind killing the balls velocity the closer it gets to the warehouse

[@chenrayen]

Guess before watching: the warehouse at “street level” is actually elevated higher than the playing field adding a ton of distance.

[@DAK4Blizzard]

Yeah, the field is 14 feet elevation, Eutaw Street is 33 feet elevation, and the overhang attached to the B&O Warehouse is 15 feet above Eutaw Street. Therefore, the ball still has to be 48 feet in altitude, or nearly 35 feet above the baseball field's elevation, when it approaches the warehouse to clearly hit it. That implies a projected distance at least near 500 feet is required.

[@Veganerd_]

@@DAK4Blizzard Hmm.. then how did Griffey's 465 footer hit it? >.>

[@DAK4Blizzard]

@@Veganerd_ Fair point. I didn't account for the ball possibly having a steep angle upon impacting the warehouse. Which is very relevant for targets that require moderately high launch angles. Griffey's homer hit the warehouse just right of the Warehouse C logo, so the homer aligns with the middle of the flag court. In terms of pure horizontal distance, the ball traveled about 435 feet before hitting the warehouse. Given the projected distance was 465 feet, it's implicit that the ball would've traveled an additional 30 horizontal feet if its flight was allowed to continue and hit hypothetical ground with same elevation as home plate. As the ball was about 35 feet above home plate with just 30 feet of horizontal distance remaining, it must've had a pretty steep down angle of near 50° upon impact.

[@mrmacross]

@@Veganerd_ don't they measure HR distance purely on horizontal displacement? That is, a 470-foot HR that lands on the upper deck in one stadium is more impressive than a 470-foot HR than touches down on Waveland Avenue outside Wrigley Field. I think the legendary Pujols HR off Lidge in the 2005 NLCS was only estimated to be like 406 feet, but that's because there was nowhere else for the ball to travel in Minute Maid.

I had a chance to watch a game at Camden Yards a couple of years ago, which doesn't happen often because I live in the Pacific NW and don't travel much. Beautiful place to watch a game.

I've only ever been to Camden Yards once, when I was a kid, I think the Orioles won but it was close to 25 years ago so I don't really remember. I _do_ remember how beautiful Camden was and how close the warehouse seemed. Keep up the good work Mr. FivePoints. Here, on the Dumpster Fire, and on Clickbait Sports.

Thanks brother!

Camden Yards is less than 30 years old.

“Nobody has done it before, since, or after.” is a sentence I’ll be processing for a long time.

Funny story, when i was stationed at Andrews AFB, i see plenty of games and watched Ripken Jr play his last season. The Orioles had a commercial of Jay Gibbions hitting the warehouse and breaking windows. It was a funny commercial. If you go on a tour of Camden Yards they say that the weather prevents the ball from hitting the warehouse.

"Nobody can hit the warehouse." *The Kid: "Hold my beer..."*

The view from the men's room of The Camden Club is the best view of any stadium in America.

7:10 OMG! 😅😅😅 I SAW THID COMING A MILE AWAY. 😅 The way you said it was just too funny not to laugh hard. 😅

I was here for the terrible jokes but stayed for the math. Nice work man

The first time that I ever felt like watching a video with a slide rule. Another great job, Adam.

[@rstreet5537]

That just shows how much of a beast Griffey was The only person I think on a perfect day could hit the warehouse Giancarlo Stanton

[@tooombay11]

He’s a righty. It would take a 475’ oppo shot. Not happening. We had Jim Thome and Aubrey Huff who were ideal candidates if they had more chances. If by some miracle Jac Caglianone falls to the Orioles, he’s the type of guy who could hit it in his career.

[@forthesnowflakes7691]

I saw the title before clicking the video and thought to myself, I could have sworn I watched a homerun Derby back in the day where players hit the wearhouse. I then clicked the video and it opened up with it lol. Glad I'm not going crazy.

[@bobwalsh3751]

In a similar vein, nobody has EVER hit a baseball OVER the scoreboard at Wrigley. A few people have hit balls into it, and a golf ball was hit over it once and a football was kicked over it once, but nobody has ever hit a baseball over it. EDIT: According to the tour guide when my family and I toured Wrigley Field on my golden birthday a decade ago, if you do manage to hit the scoreboard (which in and of itself is EXTREMELY difficult), it's an automatic dinger.

[@jeffa3316]

Great video!!! And the “still paying Chris Davis” joke at the end was pretty hilarious!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻😂😂😂😂

[@jpsullender]

I chuckled at 6:18 “five hundred and 5 f***ing feet” 😂😂

All balls hit onto Eutaw Street have their own plaque. Just hitting the street is a phenomenal achievement. The ball has to clear the wall then clear the patio just to hit the street. You have to clear the street to hit the warehouse. BTW, there are vendors (Boogs BBQ) and all kinds of people walking there while the game is going on. They wouldn't have put a main thoroughfare in a spot where batted balls are hit very often. It happens every now and then as the plaques prove but hitting the warehouse is INSANE. It will eventually happen during a regular game but I love the fact that "not being able to hit the warehouse" is a thing. OPACY is a national treasure and everyone should try to get there at least once.

[@412StepUp]

This video was made two years ago. I noticed because when he said the Orioles suck, i wondered why. Because the Orioles had one of the best records in all of MLB last year.

[@coosaboy20]

After reading the title the only reason I clicked this video was to say "Uhhh, never heard of Ken Griffey Jr.?" 😂

[@DanielDwightMusic]

3:33 I love the "too high" major league 2 pun as well as the 420 joke more than I should.

[@JWNimble]

Juan Soto just got pretty damn close. 112.6 mph exit velo, 31 degree launch angle, 447 ft. Yet still, no cigar.

[@Shawn-Leider]

My prediction: Jackson holiday will hit it within 5 years

[@StuntmanBeatz313]

Visited Baltimore & went to Camden Yards earlier this year.. Something about going to a baseball game will never get old to me..

[@alexanderrose1071]

Fun fact. My grandfather was a part owner of the warehouse until the state used eminent domain to take it. They did not get fair value.

[@stevedoe1630]

6:03, 😂😂 I repeated this Little League play ten times, and continue laughing like a kid!

[@slwsnowman4038]

My dad can tell you how much I despise the O's, but the stadium is Oriole Park at Camden Yards. When it was built, no one wanted Camden Yards name to go away (people were upset Memorial Stadium was being torn down). I remember stories about how many times they thought it was going to be hit and, if I recall right, the first three floors don't have glass windows in that section. 30 some years and it seems fitting The Kid is the only one to have hit it.

[@unkledoda420]

I love how little effort Griffey appears to put into the swing on that HR. His swing is still one of the best looking, aesthetically and mechanically, ever.

[@WriteHookTV]

A whole pile of my favorite things -- Camden Yard, the Orioles, data journalism, and 5PV.

[@wilderac2250]

Looking at these highlights the ball does hit the building…… but only after it hits the ground first.

[@JMHalleyJr]

Not bad. However the other huge factor for why baseballs don’t hit the warehouse is the wind tunnel that is created down Eutaw Street. When Janet Marie Smith, Larry Lucchino, and HOK decided to incorporate the warehouse into the ballpark’s design they collectively failed to realize this was going to occur.

One of the best videos I've ever seen

Thanks!
