When I think of
the Baltimore Orioles, I think of Cal
Ripken Jr and his great work ethic. The 2007 Baltimore Orioles
do not seem to have many Ripken's on the roster. The Orioles do have
some talented baseball players on this 2007 team though. All star
level players such as Miguel Tejada, Erik Bedard, Melvin Mora, and
Brian Roberts do keep some hope alive for Orioles fans. It will take
a special team effort for this team to play and compete in the AL
East with the likes of the Yankees, Red
Sox, and Blue Jays. |

History
The Baltimore Orioles professional Major League baseball team has
been very successful since their inception into the Minor western
league as it was known back in 1893. In 1900 that league became the
American League, which achieved Major League status in 1901. The Baltimore
Orioles were formerly known as Milwaukee Brewers between 1894-1901,
later they went by the name St Louis Browns between 1902 and 1953.
The franchise moved to Baltimore at the end of the 1953 season and
was renamed the Baltimore Orioles after the black-and-orange birds
of that name. In July 1958, the team played its first ever All Star
Game. The game attracted a crowd of 48,829. During his 17 seasons
with the Orioles, Earl Sidney Weaver, a two-time American League manager
of the year, became one of the most admired managers in American League
history for his ability to develop players and build winning teams.
In 1966 the team traded Milt Pappas and two others for Frank Robinson.
Once Frank joined the team he helped the team defeat the favored L.A.
Dodgers in the World Series with awe-inspiring pitching and timely
power. One of the most popular players with the team included Cal
Ripken Jr., who broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak
and won two Most Valuable Player awards for Baltimore. The Baltimore
