Thanks Ballpark Blueprints for a convo about one of my fav topics! Ballparks are a reflection of a city culture - memorable features like B&O warehouse at Camden Yards and 1960’s pastel colors at Dodger Stadium create more than just a setting for sports. ballparkblueprints.com/blogs/news/w...

What Makes a Ballpark Unforgettable?

Few figures have had a greater influence on the modern American ballpark than Janet Marie Smith. One of the most consequential voices in sports architecture of the past half-century, Smith has fundamentally changed how we think about the places where baseball is played. Her work on Oriole Park at Camden Yards sparked a

www.madamearchitect.org/interviews/2... What I love most about sports is their ability to bring people together. We live in an increasingly divided society, but sports give us a common language, even when we're rooting for opposing teams.

Have loved working at beautiful PNC Park with @pirates.com. So many fun new additions to the Riverwalk, main concourse and club level. Of course that is because there are so many fantastic views and good baseball stories to tell. Special thanks to all the artists who worked with us on this.

@janetmariesmith.bsky.social has been a major factor in the evolution of PNC Park.

Fun with color: What a fantastic palette chosen back in 1962 for Dodger Stadium. Perfect for Southern California. Third oldest park in Major League Baseball and going strong, over 4 million fans in back to back seasons!

Nothing says post season baseball like a 26 ounce burger for breakfast with Steve Brener. Los Angeles Dodgers will host the post season for the 30th time in the 65 year lifespan of Dodger Stadium, including last 14 years in a row

Stan Kasten’s Dodgers have been in the postseason every year since 2013. They tied a major league record by making 14 postseasons in a row. That record was set by Stan Kasten’s Braves. www.truebluela.com/los-angeles-...

Dodgers tie Braves record with 14 postseasons in a row. Stan Kasten was there for both

Dodgers are in the postseason for the 14th year in a row, tying the Braves MLB record from 1991-2005. Stan Kasten was president of both teams, and compared them.

And through these hallowed doors of the Baseball Institute at Whittier College is the home of The Baseball Reliquary and their fantastic collection of baseball books and artifacts! Plan your visit to coincide with the Nov 8 Shrine of the Eternals ceremony!

For Roberto Clemente Day-a profound honor to have my art on display at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, also an honor as it was commissioned by the great @janetmariesmith.bsky.social The very first MLB game I can recall attending was Clemente Day at Shea Stadium in 1971 🇵🇷

“So here’s the message to Orioles fans this weekend. Buy a ticket. Buy four…The lower bowl at Camden Yards on a Friday night in a pennant race is one of the best things this city has ever built, and it only works when it is full of home fans.” Baltimore Sun www.baltimoresun.com/2026/09/02/o...

How gratifying to see traditions planned for Eutaw Street still alive after 34 years: Oriole Hall of Fame plaques, bronze baseballs on Eutaw Street, flags in descending order of team standings. Eutaw Street would not have been without the B&O Warehouse. x.com/mikeburkemdt...

Always enjoy a visit with Sam Horn - at Dodger Stadium rather than Fenway Park for a change. Sam scored the first run at Camden Yards April 6, 1992. Yep, we go way back!

57 years after Boston City Hall and the plaza opened and still not fully baked. Here is a walk with photographer Stan Grossfeld and his artful eye. Too bad such an inelegant corner for the great Bill Russell tribute.

Architect Janet Marie Smith has played a part in designing and revitalizing spaces in several major cities, including Boston. Globe photographer Stan Grossfeld captured her critiques on some of the city's essential architecture.

Here is an outing not to miss! Saturday July 25 at 1 pm Polar Park Worcester. The Great Melissa Ludtke.

Looking for Shibe Park, aka Connie Mack Stadium? Row houses always in the background of the photos of that beautiful park are still here. But the marker is on the mend.

Nothing says Philly like William Penn atop City Hall. For 100+ years no building could be higher than his hat. Even legendary city planner Edmond Bacon honored this rule. (Is he best known for this or being dad to Kevin Bacon?!). Your architecture trivia for the day has ended

I think this new Corona bar robbed Luis Garcia of a Eutaw Street homer

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The Orioles announce there will be a new flag court bar in right field for fans. Construction has begun and it will open after the All-Star break. It’ll be a wrap-around bar that serves the flag court and Eutaw Street sides. Rendering from the Orioles:

My island’s baseball stadium is coming together nicely

Fun fact: Those blue seats on Dodger Stadium field were in foul territory from 1962-2000. All that foul territory-and excellent pitching-gave it the reputation of being a pitchers park. Bet we could find some who threw from that mound prior to 2000 season that could tell us!
