The Beginning - In 1901, the Milwaukee Brewers were one of the original members of the American League. In fact, so were the Baltimore Orioles. In 1902, the Brewers moved to St. Louis to become the Browns, and in 1903 the Orioles moved to New York and became the Yankees. Baseball would not return to Baltimore until 1954

Later Developments - The Browns played ball in St. Louis for 51 years, going to the World Series only once and losing to the across town St. Louis Cardinals

Baseball Moves East - In 1954, the Browns moved to Baltimore to play in the Memorial Colisseum (capacity 53,371) and become the Orioles. In 1992, the Orioles moved into their present day home, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, capacity 48.190.

Best Trade in Team History - In December of 1965, the Orioles traded Milt Pappas, Jack Baldschun, and Dick Simpson for the supposedly washed up Frank Robinson. All he did that year was win the Triple Crown, become the first player to win the MVP in both leagues, and lead the Orioles to a four to nothing sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Worst Trade in Team History - In an attempt to bolster their offense, the Orioles in 1990 acquired Glenn Davis from the Houston Astros for Steve Finley, Curt Schilling, and Pete Harnisch. Glenn Davis would never again be a productive player while Finley, Schilling, and Harnisch would go on to solid to great careers.
