Baseball in Baltimore

Few cities can boast as rich a baseball history as Baltimore. With longtime entries in the majors, minors, and Negro Leagues, the citys core of faithful fans have seldom lacked a team to root for. They revel in the feats of their stars (Keeler, Ruth, Palmer, Ripken) and just as ardently support the endless line of everyday players who often determine the teams fates. Minor leaguers such as Merwin Jacobson, Howie Moss, and Jack Ogden had little impact in the major leagues but will be remembered forever for what they did for Baltimore.

About the author

With Baseball in Baltimore, veteran freelance journalist Tom Flynn revisits many of the places and players that have made the city truly a baseball town. Through photographs from a variety of collections, including those of the Pratt Library and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, a wide span of Baltimore's baseball past is visually woven together.
