Description and Basic Information ::
|
 The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Baseball Center is a little brick row house that was once owned by Ruth’s grandparents and is simply the building where the baseball legend was born. This National Historic Site features rare photos, film highlights, vintage radio broadcasts, and everything else you would want to know about 'The Babe.'
The Museum House is also the official Orioles’ museum, and is located just three blocks from Orioles Stadium at Camden Yards. Visitors will find a plethora of Orioles’ memorabilia, as well as exhibits on several other baseball heroes such as Lou Gehrig, Wee Willie Keeler, Jimmie Foxx, and Eddie Murray; in addition to some modern stars like Ripken, Griffey, McGwire, and Sosa.
This Baseball Museum offers visitors a wonderful chance to remember Ruth and some of baseball’s greatest players. Expect to spend little more than an hour here at most, so gauge your visit accordingly.
The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Baseball Center is located on Emory Street, which can almost be considered an alley and is a right turn at 600 W. Pratt Street. It is directly west of the Harbor so if you’re coming from the water by car, you must head west on Lombard Street, then make a left on any street after Penn Street, which will take you to Pratt Street heading east. But keep your eyes wide and stay attentive for Emory Street as it is easily missed. Now, if you’re coming from the Harbor and traveling on foot, the House is much easier to find but it can be a bit of a walk if you’re not in the mood. This site is one of the few attractions located near an MTA Light Rail stop – found on Howard Street – and getting there by this means makes for a shorter, three-block walk. |
