April 5–6, 2025
Parkway Theatre | Baltimore, MD
A Celebration of Baseball on the Big Screen
Baseball isn’t just a game—it’s a story. This Opening Day weekend, the Parkway Theatre is bringing the drama, history, and heart of America’s pastime to the big screen with classic and contemporary baseball films, a brand-new Orioles documentary, and insightful panel discussions featuring sportswriters, Orioles front office representatives, and baseball historians.
From Jackie Robinson’s fight for equality to the legend of Babe Ruth, from the women who took the field during WWII to the next generation of MLB stars, this event explores how baseball has shaped—and been shaped by—American culture for over a century.
