Union Park

Union Park, also known as Oriole Park III and Baltimore Baseball & Exhibition Grounds, stood at this site, with its grandstand directly west of this building and part of the playing field behind it. It was home to the American Association Baltimore Orioles in 1891 and the National League Baltimore Orioles from 1892 to 1899. The Orioles won the National League pennant from 1984 to 1896 and included future Hall of Fame members John McGraw, Hughie Jennings, Willie Keeler, Joe Kelley, Wilbert Robinson, and Ned Hanlon. On September 27, 1897, an estimated 30,000 spectators, the largest crowd to witness a baseball game up to that time, attended a contest there between the Orioles and the Boston Bean Eaters. The Orioles played their final game there on October 10, 1899, and the ballpark was demolished about six years later. Oriole Park I, the Huntingdon Avenue Grounds, home of the American Association Orioles from 1883 to 1888, was located one block east of Union Park.
