Baltimore artist "Kid Balloon" created the mural, which shows a young girl in Orioles gear swinging high into the sky with the Orioles right beside her.
Kid Balloon said the piece is a dream come true, as he grew up just five minutes away.
"This mural is also a full-circle moment because I painted a mural on the blacktop in the playground right here with the students of Harlem Park Elementary maybe about five years ago," Kid Balloon said.
The artist isn't the only one doing work at Harlem Park Elementary. In 2024, the Orioles started their Adopt-A-School program there to help support student success.
