The Baseball Trip 2025

Day 8 - Friday, July 25

Again, a turn for the worse: The Cape May Ferry to Baltimore was sold out. All day! Bummer!

Random Observation From Randy: It's not a baseball trip without a ferry ride, dammit!

We then drove around the bay into Baltimore.

Please note: We sat in buckets of sweat as it was 96 degrees at game time (7:05)!

The Orioles were facing the Colorado Rockies, the worst team in baseball. The O's hit 4 solo home runs in the first two innings for a 4-0 lead. The Rockies fought back with a couple of dingers themselves and eventually forged a 5-5 tie. They added a run in the 8th to take a 6-5 lead and hung on to defeat the Orioles. That had to be disappointing.

One more note: The fans in the open seating area had to evacuate for a couple of innings because of lightning!

And then it came!

Random Observation From Randy: God I hate Google! We'd be better off following smoke signals.
