Camden Yards - Who's At Bat? (Cal Ripken)
It was an ideal day for baseball on the last day of April in 2000 when Cal Ripken stepped to the plate at Camden Yards. Just two weeks prior, the Iron Man had recorded his 3,000 career hit. But that was on the road, and in a dome no less. Baseball was meant to be played outdoors, and nothing is better than an afternoon at the ballpark. You wouldn't get any arguments from the 48,563 people who filled Camden Yards on the Sunday afternoon this vivid panoramic photo was taken. Facing Kenny Rogers and the Rangers, Baltimore's hero has just fouled off a pitch. As noted in the caption, the ball is visible heading down the left field line.
In addition to the action on the field, you have a strikingly clear view of the B&O Warehouse, Emerson Bromo-Seltzer tower, and even the ivy growing on the hitter's backdrop in centerfield. The Orioles' line-up was forever captured on the main scoreboard, as was Cal's stats (.260, 4 HR, 15 RBI) at the time of his at-bat. Ripken's average would dip a few points after he flew out to right field, but that wouldn't detract from what was a picture perfect day at the ballpark.

Camden Yards - Cal Ripken's Last at Bat
Class, Ability, Longevity. That summed up the career of Baltimore's beloved # 8. Shown here, in a panoramic image for the ages, is Cal Ripken's 11,551st and final at-bat. As you can clearly see in this poster, the sold out crowd is on their feet, their camera flash bulbs lighting up the Camden Yards grandstand. With the farewell logo banner affixed to the B&O Warehouse and his number etched into the center field grass, Ripken has just swung at a pitch from Boston's David Cone in the 8th inning.
Ripken would fly out to center field in final at-bat and although his career ended this night, his legacy will live on forever with the memory of his final game captured in one of the best images Rob Arra has ever produced.
