Last week, I got on a plane for the first time in more than seven years and flew down to Baltimore. My brother had signed on for a two-day trip with several family members from our father’s side, then realized that he had a scheduling conflict. This allowed me to do what I do best, slide in and have a good time on someone else’s dime.
I flew out of Manchester while the rest of my family flew out of Boston, which meant I arrived in the Charm City a good two hours ahead of everyone else. I used that gap to my advantage, taking the train from the airport to the ballpark and wandering around, looking at the sights I had missed on my previous visit.
While strolling down Eutaw Street, I took a picture of a couple homerun plaques (a small, round, brass plaque marks the spot of homeruns that land on Eutaw Street; there are just over fifty of them, if memory serves). Then, a couple more. Finally, I decided to get pictures of as many as possible, all of them if I could.
The list after the break is as close to complete as I could get. It’s entirely possible that a couple are missing because some of the plaques are hard to find. The Lee Stevens plaque from 1998, for example, is partially hidden under a vendor’s cart, and another one (I think it was Hank Blalock), was on the wrong side of a fence. (Also, it will become incomplete as soon as they add the 2010 plaques to the street. No idea how many there will be, but Luke Scott hit one out there last Wednesday.)
If I am missing any, please feel free to contact us. Even if I don’t have a picture, I can at least put it on the list.
