Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the beautiful baseball-only facility in downtown Baltimore, became the official home of the Baltimore Orioles on April 6, 1992. The construction of the park was completed in essentially 33 months from the time razing previous structures on the 85-acre parcel began June 28, 1989, in the area known as  Camden Yards.

The one-time railroad center is 12 minutes west by foot from the City's Inner Harbor and only 2 blocks from the birthplace of baseball's most legendary hero, George Herman "Babe" Ruth. Ruth's father operated Ruth's Cafe on the ground floor of the family residence located at Conway Street and Little Paca, now center field at Oriole Park.

Baseball's Iron Man, Cal Ripken, is the Orioles' all-time leader in several offensive categories, including home runs, RBIs, and hits. While on defense, Ripken leads the club in double plays recorded.  Ripken played his final game on Oct. 6, 2001. He finished the year hitting .239 with 14 homers and 68 RBI. He capped his career by hitting a home run in the All-Star Game and winning the MVP award.

 

Miguel Tejada's steady bat, Brian Roberts' emergence at second base and Daniel Cabrera's impressive young right arm stand out as key building blocks for the 2005 Orioles. The Orioles also agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder B.J. Surhoff, avoiding arbitration and ensuring that the valuable 40 year-old hitter will return for the 2005 campaign.  Don’t miss the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards ….
