On Monday, Deadspin.com featured a story about two Orioles fans that were locked in Camden Yards during a game that got rained out a couple years ago. The story was forwarded to Deadspin writers via several long email chains. While the validity of the guys’ adventure certainly comes into question, they do have photographic evidence of their time locked inside the ballpark.


You can read their full story at Deadspin, if you can stand their website’s redesign. The guys take their adventure to Boog’s Barbeque where they make grill cheese and drink free Bud Light.

What do you think, is the story real or fake?

UPDATE: Deadspin interviewed the two guys, who gave a lot more details about the event.  They don’t sound too fishy, the story is just odd to begin with.

Either way, it’s a fun thing to read about, and whether it happened or not is pretty irrelevant now.  What at first sounded like a story from The Onion became a true life tale that gave lots a of baseball fans a good chuckle.
