About this park

Oriole Park IV was an early American League stop in Baltimore — a short chapter before the franchise story moved on. The library keeps the name and the years; the wrecking ball and time took the rest. What remains is a marker: Baltimore baseball was already arguing with itself at the turn of the century.
