Maroon PR worked with the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation to celebrate the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Brooks Robinson Field at Group1001 Park in West Baltimore.
Maroon PR worked with local and national media to maximize media coverage around the event at Frederick Douglas High School featuring Baltimore Orioles legends Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken, Jr., Eddie Murray and Bill Ripken.
The new synthetic turf field will serve as the home field of the Frederick Douglas High School baseball and softball programs.
