Sports are an integral part of American life, just behind apple-pie-scented leather jackets and televisions shaped like Benjamin Franklin’s head. Uncover the complexities of competition with today’s Groupon: for $12, you and a guest get admission to the Sports Legends and Babe Ruth Birthplace museums (up to a $24 value). Both museums are located near Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

The Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards and the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum provide athletics addicts with a one-two punch of sporting history, using priceless artifacts and multimedia exhibits to illuminate the lives and deeds of some of America’s greatest athletic heroes. Visit the Sultan of Swat’s first home, also known as The House That Built Ruth, to view the bedroom in which he was born, relics such as his childhood catcher’s mitt, and exhibits touching on his professional accomplishments and personal life.

A few blocks east, the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards incites fan fervor with its own exhibitional enticements, which cover 22,000 square feet and focus on the entire pantheon of players, teams, and personalities that have made Maryland sports history. Nine Innings of Orioles Baseball details the history of the hometown hardball franchise with the help of memorabilia such as the 1983 World Series trophy and the banners used to document Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive-games-played record, while Johnny Unitas: The Best There Ever Was explores the life, times, and crew cuts of the iconic Colts quarterback.

Number five on ESPN’s list of the top 10 baseball museums, the Sports Legends Museum also serves as the home of the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame, providing artifacts and intel related to the state’s most celebrated swimmers, baseballers, lacrosseurs, and other great game-players. Both museums are housed in historical buildings—the Babe Ruth Birthplace in an aged row house and the Sports Legends Museum in the more-than-150-year-old Camden Station—making them ideal destinations for sports buffs and forensic tuckpointers alike.

Reviews

Although reviews are still growing for the Sports Legends and Babe Ruth Birthplace museums, local and national press including ESPN mention them, and Frommer's and the Baltimore Sun have written up the Sports Legend Museum:

  • Whether it's a walk down memory lane honoring the players, teams and moments from years past, or enjoying the culture of today's local sports scene, Sports Legends Museum offers something for fans of all ages. – Baltimore Sun
  • But where else can you find high-school and college sports teams represented, along with a history of stadiums in Baltimore? Bring your camera if you bring your kids: The locker room has uniforms to try on, and you're going to want a photo in that way-too-big Ravens jersey. – Frommer's

Groupon Guide to: Stain Removal

Though some people wrap their furniture in clear plastic to shield the fabric from spills, muddy children, and Pavlov's dogs, they can't protect their clothing in the same manner. Should you accidentally soil a garment, follow these tips to avoid having to throw it in your nearest landfill:

Red Wine: Just like a tattoo, the longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove. Red Dye #40, the coloring agent that gives wine its reddish hue and was used to stain toy fire trucks in the '50s, will begin to set as it absorbs sunlight. This is why red wine must be bottled in a sun-proof, dark-colored glass and only poured either at night or in a dark place, such as a bathroom or playground tube slide. Solution: Spill white wine over the blemish to reverse dye it.

Motor Oil: Because most toasters are now powered by two-stroke engines, anyone who prefers artificially staled bread is susceptible to oil stains and inhaled combustion gas. Motor oil can be a challenge to remove because its primary ingredient is vegetable oil, which repels water. Solution: Toss it on a fire. The heat will lower the viscosity of the oil, thinning it to the point that it will effortlessly evaporate off your clothing.

Sweat: Sweat is considered to be the most embarrassing stain, as it's not an indication of one's clumsiness while eating but of one's body composition being too acidic, a product of either a mineral deficiency or licking corroded batteries. Solution: Cut the stains out of your clothes. This gets rid of the stain and gives you a fashionable look that builds self-confidence, which is the number-one doctor-recommended method of preventing excessive sweating.

How come old toy fire trucks taste like smoky cedar and spices?
