Hello Old Sports is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear). EPISODE SUMMARY Special guest Mike Petty joins us this week to talk about his favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles. First we cover some of the highs and lows of the first forty years: the move from St. Louis, the glory days of the 1970's, the '83 title, and the epic losing streak of 1988. We close with a discussion of the opening of Camden Yards, considered by many to be the crown jewel of Major League ballparks. And be sure to tune in next time as Mike and the guys talk about his beloved Orioles teams of the 1990's!

He is a Pulitzer-winning architecture critic whose most recent book is Ballpark: Baseball in the American City. My favorite of his least recent books is The City Observed: New York -- a lovely blend of the scholarly and the personal. Hosted by the Center for Architecture.

What makes a ballpark great? Steve and Paul dive into Paul Goldberger's architectural history of baseball, titled Ballpark: Baseball in the American City. They discuss old, urban neighborhood ballparks like Fenway and Wrigley before lamenting the suburban concrete monstrosities of the mid 20th century. The meat of the conversation is focused on the neo-urban parks built since 1992, including of course Camden Yards, PETCO Park, and Oracle Park. The two newest MLB parks--Truist Park in Atlanta and Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas--challenge the style that Camden Yards popularized. Is this where the ballparks of the future are going?
