    Default Last pro that played on 33rd Street

    With Ray's retirement, he's the last NFL player to have played at Memorial Stadium (Tony Gonzalez also played in '97, but never at 33rd Street). (I'm not even going to delve into the CFL).

    Baseball-wise, the last five guys to have played Major League ball there were Omar Vizquel (retired after 2012), Jim Thome (retired 2012), Ivan Rodriguez (retired after 2011), Jamie Moyer (has not officially announced his retirement) and Arthur Rhodes (I think retired after 2011, but he was the last guy that was an Oriole). So, right now, it looks like Thome was the last baseball guy. (unless there is someone still playing who played for or against the BaySox at Memorial Stadium in 1993).

    The Ravens played on 33rd in '97....They moved into the new stadium in '98

    Exactly, that's why I mentioned that Gonzalez played in
    '97, but not at Memorial Stadium.

    Maybe I'm not understanding you here, but Vinatieri also played in Memorial, interesting that he played in Ray's last game too:

    Okay. I missed him. I used draft lists as my reference. I didn't think about kickers, who typically go undrafted.

    That 1996 game against New England was a wild game. I remember all of the scoring was like a pinball machine.

    and Olindo Mare.

    Jason Hanson just retired after a 21 year career, but never played on 33rd Street.

    So my original premise may be wrong...unless Vinatieri & Mare both retire, too.

    Jason Hanson played at memorial stadium unless he was injured which I really doubt.
    Barry Sanders last game was at memorial stadium and Hanson was on that team

    Jason Hanson's first game in Baltimore was 1998, the year the new stadium opened:
