Sports Legends at Camden Yards
This latest addition to Baltimore is a home run!
|
I checked out the new
Sports Legends Museum and if you have not been, run, do not walk to this amazing
tribute to Baltimore and Maryland Sports. Located in historic Camden Station,
adjacent to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, this fabulous museum is for all ages.
Step back in time and see for yourself Colts memorabilia including a
Johnny Unitas exhibit, complete with his shoes, uniform and family pictures. A
chill ran through me as I viewed pictures of Johnny growing up and all the
memorabilia from the "good old" days of the Colts. Orioles exhibits include
uniforms, a hall of fame area, Memorial Stadium mementos and so much more. See
the original Norman Rockwell painting of Brooks Robinson signing an autograph
for a child, said to be Rockwell's last painting. A Babe Ruth Exhibit includes
many items such as his original contract, a bat that he once used and film
footage of Babe's famous home run that he supposedly "called before he hit
it!"
The Kids Discovery Room allows the young and young at heart to try on
actual team uniforms. My son loved the broadcasting area, where you can actually
record a play by play of football, basketball or baseball on a microphone
and then it is played back! Cool! Explore the years of Maryland Basketball,
horse racing and of course, the latest addition, Baltimore Ravens memorabilia.
The interactive displays on lacrosse and soccer will keep the kids
entertained, as well. The entire family will love this exploration into Maryland's
sports past and present. The facility is also available for private parties
and there is a cafe with catering by Chef's Expressions.
