Description

If you are over 50, you remember watching Johnny Unitas and the Colts, Brooks and Frank Robinson of the Orioles, Earl the Pearl and the Bullets. Forgive my focus on sports - I'm a guy! But I would like this group to be the place for those who grew up in Baltimore and want to reminisce.
