“I remember seeing guys like Frank Robby at the plAte with somebodys crib beyond the outfield fences and parking lots,” the legendary rapper Chuck D tweeted Thursday night. “RT if you saw a game there or know what I mean...”
More than 700 people retweeted, and 1,400 liked the post, which was accompanied by a vintage photo of Memorial Stadium, the former home of the Orioles, next to a block of “cribs” — you might know them as rowhouses.
But even those who replied to the tweet with their own fond memories, many likely wondered what Chuck D’s connection was to Baltimore and the stadium that last hosted the O’s nearly three decades ago.
