Memorial Stadium - Baltimore, MD

Previous | Memorial Stadium Home | Next



I was in Maryland for work in December 1982. Not knowing when I'd be close again,
I sought out Memorial Stadium. I had my little pocket InstaMatic, but no film. I figured I'd
find the ballpark, then a 7-Eleven or something nearby, buy film, snap some pics, and be on my way.

I don't remember if I had a map, or if I did, how good it was. I do remember getting lost and driving around
in circles for way too long. I was supposed to meet a friend in Washington, DC that afternoon, and I was going
to be late if I didn't start heading back.

Just as I had given up, I turned a corner, and there it was. I don't remember how I ended up with film,
but I obviously figured something out.

I didn't get to see a game in this park until almost 8 years later.
