Crowds of Royal watchers waved as the motorcade passed by.
The Queen, and her company, stopped for a tent reception with Maryland crab cakes.
They then went to the ballpark where the Queen, prince, and presidential couple met with the Orioles and the Oakland Athletics.
The Queen stepped out of the dugout and waved to the crowd.
"It was the most exciting moment of my life, a fan said. "I've admired her ever since her coronation on television. She's my idol."
"It was so cool," another fan told WMAR-2 News. "She came all the way from England."
