The Baltimore Orioles is an American professional baseball team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The team was established in 1894 and is a member of the Easter Division of Major League Baseball’s American League.

The Baltimore Orioles is one of the American League’s eight charter franchises and was established as a major league club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1901. The team was then known as the Milwaukee Brewers. During the team’s first American League season in 1901, the Milwaukee Brewers finished last at 8th place with a record of 48-89. In 1902, the team moved to St. Louis and changed its name to St. Louis Browns. At the time, their home games were played in Sportsman’s Park. In their first season in St. Louis, the Browns finished second. The move to St. Louis was a fresh start for the team and they even became very popular in their first two decades in St. Louis, trouncing another professional baseball team based in the area, The Cardinals. While still under the St. Louis Brown name, the team faced many controversies owing to the wild promotional antics of its owner Bill Veeck. After 52 years in St. Louis, the team moved to Baltimore in 1954 and adopted the name the Baltimore Orioles.

When the Orioles hired Paul Richards to be the ballclub’s manager, the team experienced success once again. For the remainder of the 1950s, the team standing crawled up to reached as high as fifth place with a 76-76 record in 1957. The 1960s were considered the glory years for the Orioles when the team experienced two decades of on field successes. This success included eighteen consecutive winning seasons from 1968 to 1985. It was during this period that the “Oriole Way” of practice or organizational ethic was developed. However, after the 1983 World Series, the Oriole experienced a steady decline. Finally at the end of the 1991 campaign, the Orioles bade farewell to the Memorial Stadium. From thereon, the team declined further down the rankings. It wasn’t until 2005 that the Orioles managed to jump out in front of the AL East division, making it to first place for 62 days. In 2009, the Baltimore Orioles set a record for the larges comeback in franchise history with an 11-10 win over the Boston Red Sox. The team also set a Major league Baseball record for the largest comeback by a last place team over a first place team.
