Camden Yards is a beautiful park. I went out on Eutaw St. looking for Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas' plaques, among others. There's quite a few. I went up to a park attendant and asked, "Where's Alex Gordon's plaque?" Without hesitation, he said and pointed, "Right by that trash can." He also pointed out Moose's impact spot (an x'd out circle with MM by it) but the plaque hadn't been installed yet. That's a really awesome feature of that beautiful park.

I was there when Griffey did this (my only visit to this stadium). It was incredible.

3 ommisions. 1. The building was there when Abe Lincoln's casket passed through Baltimore on its way back to Illinois. There is a photo out there. 2. When Camden Yards was being built, they took the building apart brick by brick and cleaned them and put the building back together. Fears about hitting the warehouse were real. 3. Eutaw St acts as a wind tunnel. While the wind pushes out to the warehouse, the Eutaw St. Wind tunnel takes a large chunk of it out. Take the tour. It's very informative and cool.

Griffey. This always makes me think of how obsessed I was with his Snes game and the he derby at the yard. 😂

That's a great question FivePoints! Thanks for this coming from a lifelong Orioles fan. I long for 2014 Camden. But I know our time is coming. 2023 or 2024 is our year!

What’s crazy is all 3 of the David’s you talked about I was at all 3 games lol

Excellent video, and great analysis. I've never been to Camden Yards. Went to old Memorial Stadium a lot in the early 80s, and almost every home game Saturday during the Orioles' 1983 WS run. That warehouse is absolutely iconic, and Camden has always been gorgeous on TV and in pictures. Hitting the warehouse at Camden is similar to hitting an apartment rooftop at Wrigley. It's just not all that feasible, as tantalizing as it may be, and have only happened once each (at least as far as I am aware at Wrigley). You have to hit the ball exceptionally hard and at a high angle that is usually enough to kill flight distance. The elevated base of the warehouse makes the difference, as if it was on the same level as home plate, there would be and additional 30 feet of fall range where the ball could still hit it... and make it much more likely. Case in point, the apartments at Wrigley get hit 4-5 times a year, minimum... but usually within 15 feet of ground level. I also wonder if there may be some manner of air pressure effect that builds up against the warehouse and causes HR balls to slow at a slightly higher rate in that space. That would be more likely with large crowd, and... well... they often can't give away tickets to Orioles' games the past few years.

Went to see my White Sox play at Camden a couple-ish of seasons ago and I absolutely loved it. The way the evening sun bounces off those windows, Utah Street itself, the atmosphere (at the time). If you haven’t been, you should go

What makes this even crazier is Camden is maybe the second most hitter friendly park in the league behind Coors and yet the only time someone hit the warehouse was during a Home Run Derby. Whenever Camden next hosts the All Star Game, only lefties should be picked just to try and see if anyone else hits the warehouse.

I was at most of Adley Rutschman's games in Double-A Bowie this season. He's technically a switch hitter but does better as a lefty. I think if anyone can do it, Adley can hit the warehouse.

Yeah, the field is 14 feet elevation, Eutaw Street is 33 feet elevation, and the overhang attached to the B&O Warehouse is 15 feet above Eutaw Street. Therefore, the ball still has to be 48 feet in altitude, or nearly 35 feet above the baseball field's elevation, when it approaches the warehouse to clearly hit it. That implies a projected distance at least near 500 feet is required.

Griffey's homer hit the warehouse just right of the Warehouse C logo, so the homer aligns with the middle of the flag court. In terms of pure horizontal distance, the ball traveled about 435 feet before hitting the warehouse. Given the projected distance was 465 feet, it's implicit that the ball would've traveled an additional 30 horizontal feet if its flight was allowed to continue and hit hypothetical ground with same elevation as home plate. As the ball was about 35 feet above home plate with just 30 feet of horizontal distance remaining, it must've had a pretty steep down angle of near 50° upon impact.

there is one other factor.. the warehouse itself working as a wind inhibitor.. a breeze blowing out to right field is great and all..but that breeze hits the warehouse likely creates a deadzone.. meaning the balls get the nice boost while still in the park.. but there's kind of a crosswind killing the balls velocity the closer it gets to the warehouse

I had a chance to watch a game at Camden Yards a couple of years ago, which doesn't happen often because I live in the Pacific NW and don't travel much. Beautiful place to watch a game. I even watched Aaron Judge hit a moonshot home run to straightaway center field in that game. IIRC, that bomb was one of the three longest of the 62 home runs Judge hit that year. (I think Judge has hit more home runs at Camden Yards than at any other stadium away from the Bronx.)

Eutaw st also is fairly windy down that corridor. Would that also slow the ball down as it enters that area?

“Nobody has done it before, since, or after.” is a sentence I’ll be processing for a long time.

One of the favorite parks I’ve been to it’s interesting to think why hitters can’t hit it in a game but there has to be some interesting factors

great video, was wondering about this very thing. thought for sure someone would have knocked out a window by now, but yeah it's elevated so all those "projected' homers are just that... projected.

You have to consider "ball" rotation after contact from the bat . It needs backspin to travel the extra distance . Think of a really nasty fastball and the ball movement . Loved the video . Thanks

The view from the men's room of The Camden Club is the best view of any stadium in America.

Great video, I never even realized that the warehouse hadn’t been hit like that, never crossed my mind. Now it’s something I’m gonna be rooting for. It’s gonna happen one day. On a long enough timeline, someone is bound to do it, and if I’m around I will think of this l video, take note of the blast, and smile

“Tossing cookies like a freshman at their first frat party” is the greatest line of the video.

i love that warehouse from the Baltimore and Ohio owning it till its current used as a clubhouse for the Orioles? Truly beautiful just like the Supply Warehouse for the San Diego Padres.

I was gonna say as a little kid growing up in Seattle during the Griffey era *Your wrong* so good on you for putting it first

My dad can tell you how much I despise the O's, but the stadium is Oriole Park at Camden Yards. When it was built, no one wanted Camden Yards name to go away (people were upset Memorial Stadium was being torn down). I remember stories about how many times they thought it was going to be hit and, if I recall right, the first three floors don't have glass windows in that section. 30 some years and it seems fitting The Kid is the only one to have hit it.

Juan Soto just got pretty damn close. 112.6 mph exit velo, 31 degree launch angle, 447 ft. Yet still, no cigar.

Ken Griffy JR. Christened the new ballpark with the hardest, most technically difficult HR in its history. Nobody since has hit the warehouse. That's an indicator of his luck, talent, and skills.

This was an excellent analysis. I'm actually a little surprised that the warehouse has only been hit once. I've only ever been to Camden Yards once, when I was a kid, I think the Orioles won but it was close to 25 years ago so I don't really remember. I _do_ remember how beautiful Camden was and how close the warehouse seemed. Keep up the good work Mr. FivePoints. Here, on the Dumpster Fire, and on Clickbait Sports.

Camden Yards is less than 30 years old.

Funny story, when i was stationed at Andrews AFB, i see plenty of games and watched Ripken Jr play his last season. The Orioles had a commercial of Jay Gibbions hitting the warehouse and breaking windows. It was a funny commercial. If you go on a tour of Camden Yards they say that the weather prevents the ball from hitting the warehouse.

Batted balls have also flown clear out of entire states. In 2004 Adam Dunn hit a 500+ ft HR out of Great American Ballpark that ended up in the Ohio river, which is technically part of Kentucky.

The warehouse itself may actually be creating air currents that deaden/deflect the ball along Eutaw Street, keeping the ball from hitting the building....Oracle Park in San Francisco has a similar effect, although only 309 down the line, Giants players over the years haven't put 100 balls in the bay...the construction of the ballpark affected the wind currents there...a possibility

I love how little effort Griffey appears to put into the swing on that HR. His swing is still one of the best looking, aesthetically and mechanically, ever.

I was about to call the title out as BS because I know that someone did it because I've seen the plaque myself, but you clarified that immediately.

Stopped almost three minutes in when the myth of Babe Ruth's 575 foot homer was uttered. It's likely Ruth or Mantle never hit a 500 foot homer. Since Statcast started in 2015 there have been 3 verified 500+ foot homers. Likely there have been about a dozen total in MLB history (if that).

they did have a home run contest in the All Star game at Camden. Hard to believe there wasn't anything close hit in that.

from old tours, when the built The Yard they were thinking it would get hit all the time, the 1st 4 floors have laminated glass windows, but then they found out the air flowing threw eutaw st was pushing the balls down.

This video was made two years ago. I noticed because when he said the Orioles suck, i wondered why. Because the Orioles had one of the best records in all of MLB last year.

Pretty damn cool. The looks are so deceiving. Watching a game on tv from Camden Yards the BMO building looks as if it's almost touching the right field part of the stadium, but what people don't realize is the eutaw street separates it from the stadium.
