Orioles Game and Beer...


Monday was another day of the year I was forced to add one more number to my age.
1 more candle on the cake that which is forced to grow with years comming also. To add insult to injury of my birthday age. 3rd inning at the only stadium where i can get free food, LOL. No, more serious facts should be known about Oriole park at camden yards which is considered by many to be one of America's most beautiful baseball stadiums.





♠Construction lasted 33 months on the ballpark, which finally opened on April 6, 1992, against the Cleveland Indians
♣On September 6, 1995, Camden Yards witnessed Cal Ripken, Jr.'s record-setting 2,131st consecutive game (the layout of the playing field was, in fact, somewhat designed to match Ripken's hitting style).
♠Exactly one year later, Eddie Murray blasted his 500th home run there
♥The only no-hitter thrown at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to date was tossed by Hideo Nomo, then with the Boston Red Sox, on April 4, 2001. Nomo faced 30 Orioles batters, walking Mike Bordick twice and Chris Richard once, as the Red Sox won, 3-0.
