		Camden Yards stands where Babe Ruth’s father used to run a saloon; George Herman Ruth himself was born just a few blocks from the park (where a Babe Ruth Museum now exists).

		The park was designed to evoke old-time baseball, using design elements from classic yards such as Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, while at the same time providing all the amenities fans expected in the 1990s.
		Camden Yards has a brick exterior, wide airy concourses on the lower and upper levels, a field sunken from street level, irregular dimensions, and seating rows on which the aisle seats sport special grillwork.
		There have been some nice parks built in recent seasons, but for my money, Camden Yards is the best on the East Coast (I like Pacific Bell Park in San Francisco a little better).

		It is a wondrous yard, the green acreage upon which young men ply their hardscrabble trade surrounded by a comfortable grandstand.
		At Camden Yards, I quickly found a post-card with a panoramic view of the park (4 bits) and shiny silver Orioles logo stickers ($2 for a strip of four).
		And the Orioles must be commended for their bold stroke -- similar new parks of classic design have arisen in Cleveland, Atlanta, and other cities, and this is much to the good.

	Oriole Park at Camden Yards \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Camden Yards is arguably the most influential ballpark built since Shibe Park and Forbes Field pioneered the modern fireproof baseball stadium in 1909.
		The Camden Yards outfield was the site of a saloon operated by Babe Ruth's father, and the Bambino was born and lived just a few blocks away.
		But so far the player most strongly associated with Camden Yards is not Ruth, but Cal Ripken, who broke Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played before a capacity Baltimore crowd on September 6, 1995.

	Oriole Park @ Camden Yards
		In the spirit of Shibe and its immediate successors -- the 14 classic parks of 1909 to 1923 - Camden Yards uses a steel structural system, a brick exterior, and an angular geometry.
		It is the overall angularity of form and structure that gives Camden Yards its old-fashioned character, and sets it apart so dramatically from its predecessors.
		The use of steel columns, beams and trusses is another reason that Camden Yards feels like a classic park, and the later retro ballparks have continued to use that structural material.

		This time I arrived by car; parking in the ballpark lot was only $7, and getting in and out of the city was no problem.
		However you get to the park, the ceremonially proper way to enter is from the north, passing a gauntlet of vendors selling hot dogs, cold drinks, and nuts.
		But with a few small exceptions, Oriole Park has aged well, especially considering it was the first attempt to re-create the ambience of bygone parks without sacrificing modern comforts.
