10 most memorable games in Camden Yards history
Most of the ones included go beyond what happened on the field. They have historical significance for the Orioles, the opposition or baseball in general.
Some represent tremendous days in Orioles lore. Some are the most painful endured by the team and its fans.
But here's guessing you will remember most, if not all, of these.

Honorable mention: Greatest comeback at the Yard, June 30, 2009
The Orioles trailed the Red Sox 10-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh. But they scored five runs in the seventh, which included a three-run, pinch-hit homer by Oscar Salazar (above right). They then scored five more in an eighth inning that included pitcher Jeremy Guthrie's entering as a pinch-runner and scoring the tying run on a two-run double by Nick Markakis against closer Jonathan Papelbon. It was the largest comeback in Orioles history at Camden Yards.

I travel alot and probably see the Orioles on the road more than the clowns who live within 10 miles of the ballpark.....pretty sad fanbase they have.
I never been to a game. Can't afford to go. My most memorable moments at Camden Yards were the multiple fires in the warehouse portion of the ball park. For some reason they warehouse wasn't part of the new stadium plans. After six or seven of them . Whoever wanted it to burn gave up. Thats how Baltimore did business in those days. Cheaper to burn it down rather having the building knocked down. Hochild Kohns, Bay College, Mt.Clare Junction, Dryden Oil the list goes on and on. That's that wonderful City Hall politics operates. God knows what goes on in that back room now. Ain't that right Blake. Criminal
My most memorable game at Camden Yards is the only game I've attended with my current wife. On June 9, 2002, the O's lost in the first Interleague game I had seen in person to the Dodgers. It's also the only time I've seen the Dodgers play. What stood out to me the most is how the O's let Shawn Green score from first on a ball hit to the outfield.
