Olympic legend Michael Phelps makes good on promise made to hometown Ravens

Baseball is known as the national pastime. Some say football overtook it a while ago. We don't often reference swimming in the same regard, but every four years, the great Michael Phelps, a die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan and Charm City native, made us forget that was the case.
There has never been a more decorated Olympic swimmer. He has accumulated 28 medals during his decorated career. 23 of them are of a golden plating, but regardless of where his success took him, home is still where the heart is. He lives in Arizona now, but his heart never left Maryland.
Michael Phelps visits the Ravens and their new pool
Recently, the Ravens called a hometown hero to action. Several of the more popular social media mainstays invited him to teach them how to swim via X.
"I got y'all!!! Let's do it!!" That was the response from the best of the best.
Two weeks later, he was home again, as you might expect, everyone noticed, especially everyone holding some sort of camera. That isn't surprising. This isn't the type of guy that you can sneak in and out of town.
Let's say a time was had. Though the Ravens admittedly are short on swimmers, the G.O.A.T. found one on the Ravens' roster who might be capable of making some noise in his sport.
Training camps can be brutal. It's good to see the guys blow off some steam, as they have certainly put in a ton of time in their efforts to be excellent. Olympic glory will have to wait, though, for Hamilton and everyone else. This iteration of the Ravens is too busy trying to equal Phelps' sustained excellence by chasing a trophy of their own.
