Happy May Day from Camden Yards!
1877 strike historical marker at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Three hammers, middle one held by a fist made of railroad spikes.

It's April 13, 1996, and Brady's walk-off blast means we have to update the Brady-O-Meter! ghostsof96.beehiiv.com/p/april-13-b...

Also, with 6 more home runs today (4/11/1996), that means a remarkable 6 bricks turn orange on the seemingly insurmountable Bronx Wall of Dingers.
Breaking Down the Bronx Wall of Dingers. In 1961, the New York Yankees hit 240 home runs. The record stands to this day in 1996. The mighty Birds of Baltimore are taking aim. Can they break through? Six home runs by the Orioles today now means 12 bricks have turned orange.

It's April 11, 1996, and Orioles outfielder Brady Anderson hit his first two home runs of the season. He has never had more than 21 in a season, but maybe this season he'll hit more. We're tracking his progress with the Brady-O-Meter. Watch his sideburns grow with every dinger!

B.J. Surhoff's blast today gets him his first brick in the wall. There's a long way to go, though.

The O's hit their first two homers of the season today (4/3/1996) so with that we're introducing a new feature: Breaking Down the Bronx Wall of Dingers. Can the '96 Birds actually hit more bombs than the Bombers? ghostsof96.beehiiv.com/p/april-3-o-...

Home runs by Roberto Alomar and Rafael Palmeiro fill up 2 orange bricks in a wall of 240 navy blue bricks.
