Brief appearances by A-listers in films (Baltimore)

CAMEOROLES

Think of the short, often uncredited roles played by famous actors—like a certain baseball-themed movie where stars pop up unexpectedly. The answer sounds like a coastal city in Maryland.

The clue hints at "Brief appearances by A-listers in films," which describes cameo roles—when famous actors pop up in movies for short, often uncredited parts. The "(Baltimore)" is a playful nod to the word "roles" sounding like "rolls," referencing Baltimore’s famous crab cakes or "crab rolls," blending the idea of acting roles with a local dish. Together, "cameo" + "roles" forms the answer, with the city name acting as a clever misdirection.
