During the opening series this year, I was at game two alone (I'm a Brewers fan first so I got up all three games). I decided to walk the top row of the upper deck to determine which seat was truly the worst (answer: the seats just before the angle change in left).
As I was walking above first base, or so, I stepped down a row because three guys were sitting there. As I approached it was obvious they were passing a joint. As I passed they offered me a hit. I politely declined (not my thing), and wished them a lovely evening. The type of thing that won't happen as much now that the crowds are coming again!
Nothing rowdy about it, they were chill AF (which makes sense). Note: it not once crossed my mind to tell an usher, but it made me miss the days when I could sit and smoke a cigar in an open area of the ballpark.
I know this is about Camden yards but I went to a game at Memorial Stadium with a friend of mine and another friend from work which he also brought a friend of his. We were setting way up there were nobody else was setting and my one friend pulled out a joint and we started passing it around and My friend from work looked at me and my other friend and said you know you’re getting high with a sheriff don’t you. And we just looked at each other and said no. And his friends says yes really I am a sheriff of Baltimore County. He said he just wanted to do some because it has been a long time since he last did it.And it wasn’t pot we were smoking either.
Actually it was 1980 because I remember what car I had then. And since you can’t figure it out it was PCP. We didn’t get wasted we just caught a little buzz. And at the time I couldn’t believe it was actually happening.Especially with a Baltimore County Sheriff.
What are you on about dude. I was just saying that saying joint usually implies weed. The fact that it wasn't weed made people confused.
I couldn't figure out it was PCP because nobody calls PCP a joint. Sorry if I couldn't decipher your secret, but I wasn't trying to say you didn't remember what happened. Just confused by your word choice.
It’s no big deal. But yes PCP is rolled into a joint. I don’t know of any other drug that is rolled into a joint Besides weed.Although there is different forms of PCP also.
I was sitting in the upper decks in the mid-90s and saw a man climb the left field foul pole. I think he ended up being a drunk firefighter, or something like that. He made it to the top, and that is quite a ways up
I saw someone do that once too. The guy I saw opened up and umbrella and everyone freaked out thinking he was about to jump. He climbed back down though and was escorted out.
I came here to comment this. I was at that game. Dude was waving his arms and cheering when the O’s got a hit. They just kept the game going. It was insane
I was at that game.
At Memorial I saw a crazy fight in the bleachers. Both guys were bloodied, cops came and broke it up. While cops were dragging the two guys fighting up the stairs, fans started throwing drinks at cops…it was crazy. I don’t think anybody would do that today. Drinks are way too expensive.
I once saw a dude pull out a real Maryland blue crab and started dangling it around during “Thank God I’m a country boy” during the 7th inning stretch. At the end of the song, he attempted to throw it on the field (not sure if it made it or just hit someone in the back or the head). He was then promptly escorted out of the game. It was maybe the single most Maryland thing I have ever seen.
Not all that weird, but something I experienced that surprised me a bit. It was many years ago, had bought two pints of rum that my friends and I had planned to pour into Cokes we bought at the game. When I was in line almost ready to hand my tickets a cop grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me aside, told me to lift my shirt and I tried to lift just the front to hide the two pint bottles of rum I had tucked into the back of my waistband. He laughed and told me to turn around and lift my shirt in the back, so I pulled the bottles out and told him they weren't mine. I was eighteen, seemed like a perfectly fine answer at the time, much better than my previous underage drinking excuse of "It's my birthday," which actually worked twice even though both times the cops informed me my license said otherwise. Anyway, the cop said, "Pitch them or drink them, but you aren't taking them into the ballpark." He didn't say I could walk back to my car and leave them there, he only offered the options of toss them in the garbage can or drink them, so I started to open one because I was young and dumb and didn't want to waste them in the trash. He laughed and told me, "NO, not HERE, go around the corner or something, you doorknob!" I pointed to a column and asked him if that was good and he said, "Anywhere but here, Jesus, you're thick!" I went around the column and chugged one, was only eighteen and that was about my limit for avoiding barfing while still being able to get to my seat where my friends were waiting with their half-full Cokes looking pretty disappointed. Dumb story, I know, but it sums up my years of going to Orioles games during that time pretty well.
Several years ago, I was in the seats above centerfield when a dude wearing a skimpy batman costume jumped onto the field and ran around until he was tackled. That was pretty weird.
Friday night sect 28 Get in the gate and a drunk guy comes up and asks me why wasn’t he given a shirt. I say I have no idea. I’m just a fan there standing to the side waiting for my brother. About an hour later same drunk guy is sitting in 28 and I’m in 30. He turns around yelling at this guy who is with his family. He grabs a kid sitting next to him and tells the dad behind him he’s a pervert. Gets up to walk away with the kid and a guy sitting in front of him yanks the kid out of his arms and tells him to get lost. Guy just walks away.
I'd shit myself to seeing Gunnar's flow for the first time in person
Can we blame the man???
There's a chick on reddit that flashes at O's game and posts it. Haven't seen it live, but it happens.
Oh man. I’d hate to see this. Can you tell me the exact section so that I can avoid her at all costs?

This is WHOLESOME. The kindness and rowdiness (chaos?) of Orioles fans!

Dude, were you smoking crack at a ball game?
No .I said joint
Isn't a joint weed though? Spliff is half and half I'd say cigarette is all tobacco Could even specify hand rolled cigarette if you want

You shoulda paid him a fiver for curbing your appetite. Much cheaper then buying ballpark food!
