Turns out, there I ,oS .eare a few different ones! The most famous one, I think, is at Camden Yards, the Orioles' stadium in Baltimore. So, I decided that was the one I'd try to see.
Planning the Trip
Since I wasn't super close, I figured out I'd make a day trip out of it. I packed some snacks, filled my water bottle, and made sure I had a good map on my phone.
- Checked the weather (gotta be prepared!).
- Planned a route that avoided most of the traffic.
- Made sure I had enough gas in the car.
The Adventure Begins
The drive was okay, a little boring at times, but I cranked up the music and enjoyed the ride. When I got to Baltimore, I found a parking spot (which was a miracle in itself!). I walked towards the stadium, and there it was!
The statue is pretty big, bigger than I expected. It's Babe Ruth in his classic batting stance, looking all powerful and stuff. I took a bunch of pictures, from different angles. I even tried to copy his pose, but I probably looked ridiculous.
The Statue Itself
It's made of bronze, and you can see all the details, like the wrinkles in his uniform and the grip on the bat. It's really well done. There were other people there too, taking pictures and just looking at it. It's clear he was a big deal, even after all these years.
After spending some time there, I grabbed a hot dog from a nearby stand (because, baseball!) and headed back home. It was a cool little adventure, and I'm glad I finally saw the Babe Ruth statue with my own eyes!
