Some might say the Herb Belgrad plaque is at the FRONT of home plate plaza! Love the repeat interview w/ Herb Belgrad on @wbalradio today. What a gift to @CityofBaltimore and @Orioles with his leadership of the @MDStadiumAuth and the creation of Oriole Park at Camden Yards
If you go to the back of home plate plaza at Oriole Park there is a sign dedicated to Herb Belgrad. Every Baltimorean should know of his impact in the building of Camden Yards, keeping the Orioles in Baltimore, and eventually getting an NFL team. baltimoresun.com/2025/04/07/her…

Oriole Park at Camden Yards and Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota are the beneficiaries of the brains and tenacity of Alan Rifkin. Thanks @baltimoresun and @sunjeffbarker for the focus on his significant contributions.

Tell us about those LAX appreciation tiles 💙🩵
Highly organized is an understatement @ScottAkasaki Just the best, and seemingly 24/7. Love this line “it’s what I signed up for” Dedication and skill. Plus that organization thing!
