• 3rd visit to Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Last visited in 2009 and 2015)
• 4th different ballpark watching the New York Yankees

This game is the first of a seven-day, seven-game East Coast baseball road trip. I had just flown into BWI that afternoon and met up with my fellow Team Collector, Tim to stay at his place while I was in town. We took the light rail directly to Camden Yards.

During the fifth inning, I met up with another Stampeder, Henry, to share my custom stamp.

Seat Selection

• Section 28 (lower level behind home plate)

I bought these tickets from SeatGeek. Typically, about 2-3 weeks before the game, I check SeatGeek for value seats, tickets is prime locations with a lower cost. I jumped that these two tickets as soon as they became available at a price I wanted to pay. For a key AL East matchup, I thought they were a great deal.

We chatted on and off with a couple of Yankees fans to our right who made the drive from New York. They didn’t like the Gunnar homer but a tight game kept it fun for all of us.

Highlights of the Game

Gunnar Henderson led off the Orioles half of the first inning with a home run in right field that nearly made it to Eutaw Street. (It didn’t stop me from telling my Yankees friends that he made it to Eutaw.)

Ballpark Food of Choice

• Maryland Dog – a hot dog topped with crab dip and Old Bay seasoning
• Cracker Jack

I kept hearing about the Warehouse Dog and walked around the entire lower level looking for it. I never found it but the Maryland Dog was still a good choice.
