Baltimore Orioles Baseball Hats

Baltimore Orioles logo 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.

Orioles 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.

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.
