All fans at the game Aug. 19 against the Los Angeles Angels will receive a replica of Camden Yards as part of the ongoing celebration of the ballpark’s 25th anniversary, with more celebrations to be announced at a later date.
Postgame fireworks will be held May19, June 16, July 21, Aug. 18 and Sept. 22, with T-shirt giveaways for all fans May 8, May 29, June 21, Aug. 1 and Sept. 4.
