Today’s photo of Ripken stadium comes to use from MDP baseball correspondant, Bryan.
The stadium isn’t quite fulfilling the “if you build it, they will come” philosophy. However, it is interesting that the team was bought by the Ripken family to fill their stadium, rather than the other way around. It is home to the Aberdeen Ironbirds, a single A affiliate of the Orioles.
The stadium is part of a complex of baseball fields, including Cal Sr’s yard, a replica of Camden Yards for youth baseball. From I-95 you can clearly see the red brick hotel which is shaped to resembe the Warehouse from Camden Yards and which is appropriately placed in right field of cal sr’s yard. It is in left field relative to ripken stadium.
