Game 14 - Kansas City Royals @ Baltimore Orioles

We left earlier than normal today to go to a few museums in Maryland including the Babe Ruth birthplace and history museum and the Sports History Museum, just a few blocks away. I really enjoyed seeing and learning about Babe Ruth, his family, and Maryland's athletic history which included exhibits of Cal Ripken Jr. and Michael Phelps. We found our seats on the upper concourse and settled in for a 7:05 ballgame! There were a lot of different things the Orioles did that we haven't seen before and a lot of history in Baltimore. For example, during the Star Spangled Banner the flag that was show was on top of one of the buildings outside the stadium, the Flag that was waving in the wind was the Ft. McHenry flag which has 15 stripes and 15 stars. Another interesting fact about Camden Yards is that Babe Ruth's fathers saloon was in the outfield. It only took the Orioles four innings to take their commanding lead. They scored eight runs on six hits and almost batted through the line up twice. The Royals tacked on two runs in the fifth inning, but could not come any closer. While the Orioles added one with a homerun by the third baseman Reynolds in the bottom of the eighth and ended the game 9-2 with a Baltimore Orioles win.
