5. Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Camden Yards may simple be known as the "baseball stadium with the warehouse". When I think of Camden Yards, I think of the 1994 baseball classic film, Major League 2, which was filmed entirely at the Baltimore Orioles Park. Who can forget the scene of Pedro Serrano running to the outfield to tend to a bird he nailed with a line drive ball, only to be tagged out before the tying run crossed home plate? Camden is also home to the night that Orioles' short-stop Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak at 2,131. Overall, Camden is what a ball park is supposed to be. Beautiful, appealing, fan friendly, and above all, a baseball park first and foremost. |
