April 6th, 1992: 25 Years Later

[OFFNY]

o

 

It just so happens that the Orioles will not be playing on April 6th of 2017 ........ the 25th anniversary of the first game ever played in Oriole Park @ Camden Yards.

That doesn't mean that Oriole fans are not aware of the rapidly-approaching date (and subsequent anniversary), though. Thursday is only 5 days away, and many feel that the stadium is as good now as it was when it first opened.

 

 

I won a Nick Markakis-signed baseball with an answer to a trivia question in regard to that game at Fan-Fest in April of 2009 ....... of which I received free tickets to in the first place (along with free season tickets)  for being "Fan of the Game" on the final weekend of the season in a game against the Blue Jays the season before.

He asked who the Orioles' pitcher was who pitched a complete-game shutout for the first-ever game at OPACY. Everybody screamed, "Rick Sutcliffe." But then he said, "I wasn't finished with the question. What was the exact date of this game?" I raised my hand and said, "April 6th, 1992."

Happy 25th birthday, Oriole Park.

The Orioles are in 1st place ........ just as they were on this same day, 25 years ago.

I was there for the exhibition game vs the Mets ("Eddie! Eddie!") and for Opening Day in 1992.  And moved to Austin a week later.  Still the greatest ballpark in the game.  Let's go O's!

I was not at either of those games.

You bastard.

I took me a couple years til I finally saw a game there. My best memory is the first Playoff game in 96. 9-4 win over Cleveland. Bobby Bo hit a grand slam.

 

Or the Hangout game two years ago. CD walkoff win over TB. We were yelling and clapping.

What a magical day it was Patrick.  Thanks for the memories.

The Yard was the best facility in all of sports in 1992 and remains so today.  Be proud Orioles fans.

I was single and young then. The good old days, lol.

I was there too.   Best seats I ever had, 3rd base line, 2nd row.   Ron Shapiro was in the first row, just past the dugout, and Eddie came over to talk to him before the game.

Eddie was the first player to hit the scoreboard in RF for a double.
