At the end of Sunday’s game I heard an announcer say that this was the first time the O’s started a season 3-0 since 1997 and it was the first time they had done it on the road since the 70′s.

Just two more days until Camden Yards opens for the year. Thanks to Bryan for allowing me to photograph his opening day tickets.

Yards
As spring training is well under way, it will soon be time for another group of pictures from the ballpark.
I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday which was caused by unexpected travel.

Blast
What do Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Omaha, and Missouri (yes, the whole state) have in common?
There are only five places with a team from the MISL (the Major Indoor Soccer League). The MISL plays their soccer games on fields that are sized down to hockey rinks. They also have a basketball-like system of scoring where goals are worth two points. That is unless they are kicked from beyond the three point line, at which point they are worth three.
Those from out of state may never have heard of this, but the Blast has been in Baltimore since 1980. Their many championship season banners are proudly displayed all over the First Mariner Arena.

Open Season
MDP is in! It always makes me excited for any event when I receive the tickets for it in the mail. It’s one of those feelings that the internet is trying hard to destroy. This past Saturday I enjoyed it like never before as I’ve never had season tickets to anything before. So when MDP’s package of tickets came in the mail there was a very “Kid at Christmas” response. Let’s hope that this score is not repeated.
These tickets aren’t the only MDP highlight of the weekend. There’s a lot of history coming your way this week.

My Man
Most people just ask for a picture. This guy went in for the whole deal. The bird, cool character that he is, knew exactly how to respond.

Batting Practice
I don’t like to include people in pictures most of the time (after all they aren’t nearly as interesting as the rest of the things in our state), but I enjoyed seeing this person watching batting practice at Camden Yards the other day. When I was a kid I always wanted to get to the game early and take it all in for as long as I could.

Behind Home
Here’s a shot of the booths behind home plate at Camden Yards. If you are interested in more pictures of the park, you should go to www.welcometobaltimorehon.com to check out their Daily Camden feature. Each day they have someone new from around town take a picture of the park. You could even sign up to take one too.
