Baltimore Orioles history
Milwaukee hosted this club first. It was one of eight American League charter teams in 1901, playing that year as the Milwaukee Brewers before a 1902 move made it the St. Louis Browns. Five decades later, a Baltimore group led by Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. and attorney Clarence Miles bought the team in 1953 and brought it east.
The name fits: the oriole is Maryland's state bird. Fans also say the O's or the Birds. The franchise reached its first World Series in 1944 as the Browns and lost to the Cardinals. Baltimore then made six trips between 1966 and 1983, winning in 1966, 1970 and 1983, with Hall of Famers like Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken Jr.
