Introduction
The Baltimore Orioles are one of the American League’s most storied franchises, with a history that dates back to 1901 as one of the league’s original eight clubs. Originally founded as the Milwaukee Brewers, the organization later became the St. Louis Browns before relocating to Baltimore in 1954 and adopting the Orioles name. Since then, the franchise has built a tradition defined by championship teams, Hall of Fame players, outstanding pitching, and a commitment to player development that has produced some of the greatest talent in baseball history.
The franchise has called Baltimore home since 1954 and has competed exclusively in the American League throughout its history. The Orioles have won multiple World Series championships and league pennants while producing legendary stars such as Cal Ripken Jr., Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, and Mike Mussina. This hub brings together the franchise’s greatest players, historic seasons, statistical leaders, all-time rosters, and other resources celebrating one of baseball’s most accomplished organizations.
