Located right next door to the ball park, the Sports Legends Museum is literally a "Who's Who," of Maryland sports history. Want to see Baltimore native Carmelo Anthony's National Championship ring from Syracuse? The Sports Legends Museum is your place. Want to learn about the early 1900's Baltimore Orioles, a self described "Cocky, swashbuckling crew?" This is the spot to do it. Ready to check out Michael Phelps' dip/spit cup, from one of his infamous all-night online poker sessions. Come to the Sports Legends Museum! (Ok, I may have made the last one up).
But seriously, the best part of the museum is that you don't have to be an Orioles fan, or even a native Marylander to appreciate it. Sure there's quite an extensive exhibit on the Orioles, but there are also artifacts and info on the old Baltimore Colts, the new Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Bullets of the BAA (The precursor to the modern NBA) not to mention more Maryland college sports history than you'll know what to do with. Seriously, I always wondered who'd won the 1934 NCAA Women's Riflery Championship, and now I know, it was the University of Maryland. Thanks Sports Legends Museum!
The museum is housed in the 1857 Camden Station, the oldest passenger rail station in the Nation. While the layout isn't perfect (Navigating through the "nine inning," Orioles exhibit is like trying to waddle through a corn maze after three vodka tonics), but the museum is perfect for the casual sports fan that wants to be in and out in 45 minutes, or a loser like me that wants to soak in every detail and ends up spending the whole day there.
It is a game night -- The O's will be playing the Blue Jay's at 7:05. So there will be no parking near the stadium or at the museum. Use the light rail, park out in the burbs, and take the train to Camden Yards. After we see the museum, those that want too can go to the stadium and watch the O's. The ball game isn't part of the event.
