Hey guys I will be in Baltimore in 3 weeks to watch the Orioles play the WhiteSox.

Anyone have any suggestions while im there?
Any good hang out places?
Any good sports memorabilia shops that I can find Game Used or Vintage stuff?

I will be staying at a Hotel near Camden Yards!!

Hey Suave, don't forget to get a Boog's BBQ sandwich while there. If you are looking for good places to eat try the inner harbor area. Everything from and ESPN Zone, Hard Rock Cafe, Cheesecake Factory, Phillips Seafood House to small local italian cuisine is available. Several of the restaurant and bars directly around Camden on Pratt street are excellent as well for local food and drinks. The Orioles store inside the warehouse is a piece of crap so I would not waste your time unless you want a six foot giant stuffed Orioles Bird to take home. I would just bring a shotgun and shoot the real Orioles Bird, stuff and mount him when you get home if you are so inclined.

If you want some additional action head about six blocks northeast of Camden and you should run into the block. You might want armed security as an escort but you can score anything additional from drugs to hookers to strip clubs etc. back there.


You could contact Andrew Lang at All-Stars Plus from this forum and see what he will sell you. He is further south, closer to Washington and does not have a retail store but it might be worth checking out his website prior to arriving as you can meet him and pick up your purchase. Robbie's First Base is I believe in the timonium maryland area about 15 miles north of downtown. It is owned by former Orioles center fielder Al Bumbry and I have had several great transactions with them over the years. If you have the time check out Ripken Stadium up at Aberdeen Maryland about 25 miles north of downtown Baltimore. Cal Ripken's Ironbirds play there to a packed house every night the Ironbirds are home. That is about it that I can think of. Not sure about other memorabilia shops. There are a couple around inner harbor and Camden Yards but most all are limited in terms of game used and usually focus on Orioles items. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Brett

Go to federal hill.There are alot of bars around there and good places to hang and its right by the stadium also.Or go to fells point thats also cool to hang around at.But i prefer Federal Hill younger crowd.Power Plant is also nice young crowd also. They have a concert hall in powerplant thats called Rams Head Live.We go down and check some shows sometimes.Check the museum next to the stadium there is alot of cool things about Baltimore sports in there and alot of game used items on display but not for sale.Let me know if i can help you out anymore.Geoff

By the way Suave, Congratulations are in order for achieving your 1000th post on the forum. Great job, I am sure at my present pace I will catch you in about 73 years.:D

As another poster suggested, you need to hit not only the Sports Legends Museum which is located right next door to Camden Yards, but you'll also have to visit the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum which is located only a couple blocks west of the stadium (both Museums are owned by the same party & you can get a "combo" admission ticket; there is a ton of neat memorabilia on display at both!). I'll be there on Sunday the 30th, let me know if you want to meet up prior to gametime for a couple beers @ Pickles Pub..........

First I would like to say Thank you to everyone for chiming. Definitely a big help.

Mr Miracle thanks for congratulating me on my 1000 post when i get there ill expect a celebration party and limo on you lol lol:D :D :D

Also Mr Miracle I see the ironbirds all the time they play the Brooklyn Cyclones - but I might go by the stadium to check it out. You should come to Brooklyn to see KeySpan park for the Brooklyn Cyclones we have one of the nicest Minor League Stadiums there are.

Ironman hey that sounds good to me im always up for drinks!!!

[mr.miracle]

That sounds like a plan. Suave, let me know when to show up and I will book it out on my calendar. I am charging the limo to my good friend allstarplus. I am sure he will not mind picking up the tab.
