Today is also Maryland Day, the anniversary of the landing in 1634 of the first European settlers in what became the colony, and later the state, of Maryland.

I would suggest watching the Baltimore Orioles play a game of baseball, but since the regular season hasn't yet started, they won't be in Baltimore.
