Union Park (Baltimore)

After that season, the Association folded, and four of its teams were absorbed into the National League, including the Orioles.

The legacy of those Orioles lived on through the later achievements of their many Hall of Fame players, such as John McGraw, Wilbert Robinson, Hughie Jennings and Willie Keeler.

On June 16, 1894, he hit a home run over the distant center field fence, the ball landing on Guilford Avenue and finally rolling to a stop at 23rd Street.

Decades later, the blow was still being talked about, and due to the distance it rolled was facetiously described as a 1,300 foot homer.

Today the site is a residential area of Barclay with 321 East 25th Street once located next to the grandstand.
