Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Friday the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football
League announced that the team will not be returning to McDaniel College in
Westminster for summer camp, breaking a tradition that dates back to 1949.
[…]
The ExploreCarroll.com article also took note of the
owner of the Raven’s, Steve Bisciotti, ties to Westminster. He was quoted as
saying that “some of my best memories as a kid are my family's visits to the
Colts' training camp in Westminster…”
More on that in a moment, first a little history.
Baltimore football in Carroll County is an intergenerational
dynamic that goes back to just a few years after World War II.
Football in Baltimore can trace its lineage to the
All-America Football Conference in 1946 and another lineage to the NFL in 1944,
according to multiple media sources, my old childhood Baltimore Colts files,
from research in 2004 when I found an excellent article on the net, “Life
Before Indianapolis: A History of the Baltimore Colts.”
