- Who wants to learn about beer and baseball in Baltimore? We sure do! For today’s video, we visit the site of Old Oriole Park, one of the city’s many baseball fields where professional athletes played ball over the years. In this video, you’ll learn about baseball teams beyond the Orioles, like the Terrapins and the Elite Giants. Thanks for watching and see you later this week!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Twice a week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support/
I went to many games in 1971 at Memorial Stadium. What a great team!
Royals fan here. And I think that Camden Yards looks beautiful. But…I really miss the camera view when facing the pitcher and seeing the pretty trees and landscaping at Memorial Stadium. I saw that a lot on tv when I was a kid and watching Oriole WS in 69-71. Also: Good luck to your team this year, I really like them and was frustrated for you when your execs traded Mancini and Lopez. I liked your team a long time ago and like the scrap n them now.
My great uncle had tickets to the July 4, 1944 game at Oriole Park.
My dad loved baseball and the O's! Brings back memories to visit old park and Baltimore.❤⚾️
Love Peabody Heights and its wonderful history as a former baseball stadium! The owner will sometimes give people a baseball tour of the brewery and hopefully they will pick that up again once it is safe to do so.
George Herman Ruth (Babe Ruth) first Pro Baseball team was the minor league Baltimore Orioles 1914. He pitched for team for 4 months and won 13 games before the Red Sox bought his contract.

Great job by Stephen Johnson. He is a great voice for the Sandlot teams!! If people are interested he has Documentaries at Cooperstown as well!
John: When I lived in MD, I enjoyed Peabody Heights beer, and I visited the brewery a couple of times, but I didn't know all of the history behind Baltimore baseball & that location. So, thanks for another informative video! :-)
Awesome video. I had to do soo much research making these ballparks
My mother taught at Barclay elementary school. Legend has it that the school offices are where the dugout was located.
Wow!
From video you see there was a lot of Pro Baseball History in Baltimore City before 1954. There were many good teams & Champions, ballplayers, history, league leading attendance many years from past that helped big time to bring the St Louis Browns to town. Important & true note, the minor league Baltimore Orioles had the longest tenure at Old Oriole Park ( 401 East 30th street) from 1916 through 1944.
Open air movies were show at both Oriole Park on Greenmount Ave and at Terrapin Park in the nineteen teens.
I moved to Baltimore in 2008. I worked for the great grandson of Bed Hanlan, the manager of the Orioles from the 1800's to when they left in1903 or 4.
I have been told by a lot of the locals that the original ballpark was located in Charles Village.
By the way, I am and have always been a big baseball fan.
Just noticed that it said bed, it's supposed to be Ned

I'm a long time orioles fan . while i love candem yards. i miss memorial stadium. i love the drive through the neighborhood on the route to the park, parking at the high school seeing the façade as you walk across the street. awesome vid.
Sheriff Fowble coached Travel baseball in the 50 s for a few Decades. I believe he coached Al Kaline(Southern HS) at Herring Run Park.
I love this channel
Thank you!
Some Minor League Baltimore Orioles team history; For 3 straight years a ballplayer from Orioles won the International League MVP. 1944 Howie Moss, 1945 Sherm Lollar, 1946 Eddie Robinson.
Can't wait for Oriole Parks VIII, IX, X and XI.
Anyone know where I can find pictures of the first Oriole park? Or the outline
You can find the ballpark's approximate footprint on Baltimore Heritage's website, if you go to Virtual > Five Minute Histories > and then look at the embedded map.

Memorial stadium is gone.... didn't know that...
That s where I grew up
Did you know Robert Lefty Grove won 108 games with minor league (International League) Baltimore Orioles before Connie Mack (A's) bought him? Yes Jack Dunn Baltimore Orioles were a Dynasty team from 1919 through 1925 nick named the Seven Straighters. Many say the best minor league Baseball team ever!
Can’t believe the Yankees started out as the Orioles lol. Mind blown
