ACTIVITIES
Baltimore Orioles Giveaways

Throughout the season, the Baltimore Orioles sponsor promotional dates at the ballpark, where they give away such items as baseball caps, bobbleheads, baseball cards, posters, and other collectibles. The friendly folks who greet fans at the gates and hand out those items are volunteers from The Oriole Advocates.

Babe Ruth Museum and Birthplace

The Advocates were instrumental in helping with the funding for the restoration of Babe Ruth's birthplace on Emory Street and its subsequent conversion to the Babe Ruth Museum.
A plaque on the facade of the house says: 



"In 1967, The Oriole Advocates, a volunteer group of local business persons dedicated to furthering Baltimore Orioles Baseball, worked in conjunction with the City of Baltimore to mount a drive to save the Emory Street Birthplace of George Herman 'Babe' Ruth and the three adjoining properties. Through their efforts, those properties were purchased and restored. As a result, in 1974, the Babe Ruth Birthplace Shrine was opened to the public.

"Over the ensuing years The Oriole Advocates have continued to support the Babe Ruth Museum through their donation of time, talent, and resources. This plaque commemorates The Oriole Advocates, whose fine efforts and dedication have helped to maintain and preserve the Birthplace of America's most celebrated athelete.

"Dedicated April 13, 1999"
