Im not sure where other teams stay <BR>but there are several nice places to <BR>stay within walking distance to Camden <BR>Yards. The Sheraton Inner Harbor (I belive it is on Light Street) it is <BR>promoted through the Orioles. Also the <BR>Holiday Inn is pretty nice. Everything <BR>you would want to see is all within walking distance from Camden Yards. The Inner Harbor is about 2-3 blocks away. <BR>definitly go to the shops that surround the harbor. Take a water taxi over to Fells Point (great little shops and restaurants) I would make it a point to go to Phillips Restaurant (excellent seafood) also the ESPN Sports Zone. <BR>If your in the mood for italian food, go to Sabatinos in Little Italy. If you have kids, go to the Aquarium and Port Discovery you can also take the water taxi to Ft.McHenry. All around the harbor. You are in for a wonderful time! <BR>I hope this helps.

OOps! Okay Go Boston! You will still love it!

You should go to Babe Ruth's House which is just a few blocks from Camden Yards. They have pictures of World Series winning teams. Something that Boston hasn't seen in awhile. 1918 I believe? <BR> <BR>Just kidding, <BR>A Yankee Fan.

I've lived in Charm City for 10+ years - -don't go to Phillips - -it's a tourist trap, huge lines on weekends. Take the water taxi over to Fells Point or Canton and see REAL Baltimore -- the harbor is lovely, neat shops, eateries, but not the place for a sit-down meal- -too crowded. For a nice view, try the Bay Cafe stop off the water taxi and eat real baltimore seafood or some steamed crabs at Bo Brooks. Also, I would NOT recommend the HOliday Inn - -it's a bit on the edge of the nice area -- go for the Sheraton, Hyatt, Harbor Court for a splurge, or Renaissance. There is also a new Marriott Waterfront that is a longer walk from the ballpark, but worth it - great view and Victor's Cafe, with a great view for dining & drinks is right next door. ALso, for Italian - -don't go to Sabatino's - it's definitely gone down hill in the past few years while the prices have slightly increased. Try Amicci's for more casual, quaint and consistent Italian, or Ciao Bella. Have a great time - - if you have kids or teenagers, ESPN Zone is good for them. Enjoy your stay!!!

I don't know where the Red Sox are staying this year, but in past years they stayed at the Stouffer Harborplace. You can call the hotel at (410) 547-1200 to find out. Or, better still, call the Red Sox office. When attending the game, eat anything from Boog's Barbeque stand, owned by former Oriole Boog Powell. Usually he comes to the games and hangs out at his stand, signing autographs and chatting with fans before the game begins.
