Michael Phelps never felt shy about admitting his connection with Baltimore. From his birth to his inception into swimming, the place holds a special designation in the legend’s heart. Eventually, Michael Phelps had received the title of “Baltimore Bullet” because of those special engagements. On the other hand, the homeboy shared his love attachment not only with Baltimore but also with the monumental sports culture that the place holds. The NFL bigwig from the locality, the Baltimore Ravens, had the lion’s share of that love.
In 2016, the pre-season game of the Ravens featured the 200m IM Olympic event of the swimming legend live on the screen. At that moment, Boomer Phelps couldn’t witness the event live. However, last Sunday, he shared a bonding moment with his legendary father during the Ravens game.
