A Night with the O's

OPACY (Oriole Park at Camden Yards)

 Chris and I were blessed to be able to attend an Orioles game, Wednesday night, with many of our family members. I say blessed because it was a truly great experience even though the O's dropped the game to the Yankees.

I had not been to OPACY since the 2022 season. It was good to be back in my favorite ballpark and to see for myself the new, last year, Great Wall of Baltimore. 

We dropped in at Pickles for some pre-game adult beverages. That was something that we almost always did when we had season tickets. It is a good way to transition from fighting horrific traffic to getting in a baseball frame of mind. It is fun to interact with the other fans, even those rooting for the wrong team.

As can be seen from the images, it was an idyllic evening for baseball complete with clear skies, bright sun, moderate temperatures and a lot of fun. 

I was treated to a great pitcher's duel. Although the O's lost 0-2, I enjoyed the game as each at-bat brought a new opportunity to win the game. 

I enjoyed a Boog's BBQ--wow, I forgot how much roast beef they put in a sandwich! I walked the stadium and enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of the ballpark. 

It was good to be back, even for a night.
