Way Back Wednesday: Former Oriole Chris Hoiles Remembers His First Opening Day

Chris Hoiles played his entire Major League Baseball career as a catcher for the Baltimore Orioles from 1989 to 1998.

Hoiles joined Ed and Rob for Way Back Wednesday to remember the opening of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Chris started by talking about Oriole Park at Camden Yards being called the best ballpark in baseball saying, "I agree on that one. It was an absolute privilege to be able to open up Camden Yards in '92 and play in a stadium that was a benchmark for the stadiums that followed it. It is one of a kind."

Chris also talked about how the game has changed throughout the years and how different statistics are viewed nowadays, and some of his favorite memories from OPACY.
