April 17, 1964, during the Baltimore Orioles’ home opener at Memorial Stadium against the New York Yankees, the Flag House loaned its 30′ x 42′ Star-Spangled Banner replica to be carried onto the field by 22 Marines while “Stars and Stripes Forever” played. The Orioles finished 3rd in the league that year with 97 wins and 65 losses.

Today, March 26, would have been the Orioles’ 2020 home opener against the Yankees. We can’t wait to get back to baseball.
