The New Cathedral Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery, with 125 acres, located on the westside of Baltimore, Maryland, at 4300 Old Frederick Road. It is the final resting place of 110,000 people, including numerous individuals who played important roles in Maryland history.[1] New Cathedral opened in 1871, replacing Cathedral Cemetery.[2][3]

The cemetery contains several players from the Baltimore Orioles, including four members of the Baseball Hall of Fame: John McGraw, Joseph Kelley, Ned Hanlon, and Wilbert Robinson.[4][5] It is believed that no other cemetery has so many Hall of Famers.[1]
