Documentary made possible by the Lucchino Family Foundation in memory of former Orioles president Larry Lucchino, will debut at a private screening Nov. 14; public premiere set for Babe Ruth's 132nd birthday in February 2027

BALTIMORE, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum will debut a new documentary about the making of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, "The Ballpark That Forever Changed the Game of Baseball," at a private screening Saturday, Nov. 14. The premiere will be held at the Camden Club in the B&O Warehouse at Camden Yards. The film will premiere publicly on Feb. 6, 2027, coinciding with what would have been Babe Ruth's 132nd birthday, at the museum's newly renovated theater.

The 20-minute film follows the ballpark from concept in the 1980s to Opening Day in 1992 through first-hand interviews, covering site selection, architectural choices and how the park got its name. It closes with the ballpark's legacy, highlighting how Baltimore's new retro park redefined ballpark design and ushered in a new era of stadium development across Major League Baseball. Those interviewed include Hall of Fame broadcaster Jon Miller; Orioles legend and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.; and Janet Marie Smith, who represented the Orioles on the ballpark design. The film is narrated by Orioles play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Brown.

Columnist George Will has ranked Oriole Park at Camden Yards among baseball's most significant developments since World War II, alongside Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color barrier in 1947 and the arrival of free agency.

The film was made possible by the Lucchino Family Foundation in memory of former Orioles president Larry Lucchino, whose vision and leadership helped bring Oriole Park at Camden Yards to life. As Orioles president from 1988 to 1993, Lucchino played a pivotal role in championing a new ballpark that would reconnect the team with downtown Baltimore and fundamentally change the way baseball stadiums were designed.
