On this day 21 years ago – May 15, 1991 – President George H.W. Bush watched the Baltimore Orioles with Queen Elizabeth II.

That day, the Baltimore Orioles played the Oakland Athletics at Memorial Stadium, and it marked the very first baseball game for the then 65-year-old Queen of England, proving that it’s never too late to attend your first baseball game.
