I doubt very much the weekend of the Preakness will ever carry as much pull as one of the most respected marathons in the world. The Boston Marathon and the 11am Fenway game is a tried tradition that is a gurantee every year.
Also the Red Sox probably carry a little more weight than the Orioles as far as MLB scheduling goes. Just keeping it real
Eh, you never know It is the second Jewel of the Triple Crown a great way to get people from visting city's to come out and enjoy a day at ball park plus MLB loves Camden Yards and has always used it as it prototype when ever Bud Selig has tried to help convice other cities to build new ballparks to replace the old aging ones. They have a good tie in together.
