97 Dates for Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles have a long and interesting history as a team that dates all the way back to 1901. The team was originally called the Milwaukee Brewers but moved the next year to become the St. Louis Browns. The team spent 54 years in St. Louis and saw a number of memorable and sometime controversial events unfold. They won an American League pennant in 1944, signed the outfielder Pete Gray, the only one-armed player in major league baseball history and had the dubious honor of fielding a midget as a publicity stunt during the 1951 season. The franchise eventually moved to Baltimore in 1954 and changed their name to the Orioles which is the state bird of Maryland and a name used by Baltimore teams for close to 100 years.

The Orioles play in the justly famous Camden Yards. You could not ask for a more beautiful park to watch a game in. Designed by architectural firm Populous, the park was the first of the “retro” parks created in the 90’s and is a must see for fans of the game.
