Any discussion of Baltimore could appropriately begin with the singing of our National Anthem. For it was a poem penned here 200 years ago by lawyer Francis Scott Key in the wake of the Battle of Baltimore that recounted the joyous sight of a Star Spangled Banner waving proudly after a battle that saved a young nation. Founded in 1729 and named after Lord Baltimore (Cecilius Calvert), the city and its seaport location has contributed both strategic and economic importance for the country throughout the centuries. Today, Baltimore's historical significance is celebrated in a variety of attractions in and around the Inner Harbor.

Just as Anna Trundle is the biggest Dr Pepper fan in Starkville, Mississippi, the biggest fan of Dr Pepper in Baltimore is Justin Tucker, a placekicker with the NFL Ravens. This season, Tucker kicked six field goals in a Monday night football game including a game-winning 61-yard field goal. Like most native Texans, Tucker loves the taste of Dr Pepper. As part of Dr Pepper's "one of a kind campaign", Tucker literally "sings" the praises of the most original soft drink ever.
