All you need to know about Eutaw St. HRs
There is no other Major League park quite like Oriole Park at Camden Yards. This was true the day it opened in 1992, and it remains true today. From the generation of future stadiums it inspired to its iconic brick warehouse beyond the right-field fence, Baltimore¡¯s jewel of a ballpark heads toward its third decade, remaining one of baseball¡¯s best.
In the immediate shadow of the warehouse resides one of Camden Yards¡¯ unique features: Eutaw Street. The festive, fenced-off promenade is home to the Orioles¡¯ Hall of Fame wall, famously popular concessions ¡ and one of the game¡¯s most tempting targets for left-handed hitters.
