25 Places to Catch a Bit of Baseball History

"The fact that George Herman “Babe” Ruth, often heralded as the greatest baseball player of all time, was born in Baltimore, Maryland is no secret. However, the fact he attended a “reform school” is a little less known. At the age of seven, Ruth was sent off to live at St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys near the far southwestern edge of the city. Run by The Xaverian Brothers, St. Mary’s was chartered in 1866 and operated as an orphanage and boarding school. It’s also where Ruth learned the game of baseball.  The school closed in 1950 and it’s believed to have served over 20,000 kids during its run. The building that Ruth attended was destroyed by a fire in 1919.  All that remains is a multi-purpose playing field known as Babe Ruth Field at Gibbons Commons. The field was created through a partnership with Saint Agnes Hospital and the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation in 2016.  Other than a cheerful sign at the entrance of the field, there are no historical markers that indicate this was once the home of Babe Ruth." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Nice multifunctional field. Great parking and great location. Turf is in very good condition.

Gorgeous looking field, BUT seems like an unfinished park. Multiuse turf field looks to be in great shape but there are NO seats for spectators. There are two dugouts that align with the baseball corner of the field. Didn't see a portable mound or bullpens. That's not to say they aren't there but we were there for a soccer tournament. Other than the dugouts the only other seats were a mobile aluminum team bench. Again, zero spectator seating. Bring pop ups and camping chairs, but know that you will be level with or below the field in the small grass area that butts up with the vacant building. Three port o pots that seem well taken care of but get scuzzy quickly with a little bit of rain. Stop sign posts but no stop signs when you weave around the blacktop. Decent parking but again, appears unfinished since some of the parking is a find your own spot type deal among low cut brush. If you have kids, be careful when near the baseball diamond. There's an entrance to the school that's all busted to hell. Lots of the glass is busted and there's no barrier between the side of the building and the field. A few concrete rounds level with the ground as well, presumably from old light poles. Tough to see until you trip. Sign into park is very faded. Keep an eye out when you get close. Field is tough to see from Caton Ave/not obvious. No concessions but there is a Royal Farms about a block away. Overall, a nice looking place but with limitations. Pack like you're going to literally a field and not a park/facility.

The field was very nice but didn't stay long. After a few snaps. We were asked to leave. Someone called security to have us removed. We just wanted to practice. Security was nice but we had to go. 😟☹️

Brand new turf field. For baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, ultimate, etc. Owned by St Agnes hospital, managed by YMCA Catonsville. Good security. Still only porta potty restrooms. Fence all the way around. Safe Gem amidst rough city surroundings.

Interesting field. A lot at one place. A football field, baseball, lacrosse, soccer field, anything except a basketball field 😂 . But not a bad field to play on.
