While staying in the DC area, we attended a couple of baseball games. The first was the Atlanta Braves playing at the Baltimore Orioles stadium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Arrived as the game started due to bad GPS directions. Enjoyed a crab, mac & cheese dog, then some chicken bacon, ranch fries, and crab chips, followed by some Dippin’ Dots. Lemonade was refreshing on a very warm day. The Braves scored early and never let up. The Orioles made two errors. A fun ballpark atmosphere and exciting crab-themed events. Ruschman struck out twixe and walked. It’s a beautiful stadium. Orioles came close to a tying rally in the 9th, but couldn’t follow through.
