Baltimore Orioles

The Os and the Sox. Next to the Os and the hated Yankees this is the best baseball you can see. Not so much for the Os, they do not do well most of the time, but the big league baseball stars are always a treat to watch. In this game, Manny Ramirez hit his 500th home run.

Here is Manny Ramirez leading off. An at-bat later he hit number 500 into the seats a little to the left of us out in left field.

The best vantage point in the yard. Manny Ramirez's 500th home run landed about twenty feet left of where we are sitting. The guy on the right is an Os fan, his girlfriend is a Sox fan. Good way to start off - conflict!

When the Sox play us in the Yards the stands are usually full. Full of Sox fans, that is. They can't get tickets in Fenway so they come to the Yard where there are always plenty of game day tickets. Maybe one day if we ever get some pitching they will be shut out in more ways than one!

In the concourse under the stands. Cal and his buddy are trying to decide whether to get a funnel cake before the game or to just go on in. Further along, here comes trouble drinkin' already and the game hasn't started yet...

That is a picture of the back of Dick Cass's head waving to the crowd who are slowly filling ten percent of the stands for the game with the As.
