ABOUT THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES

In 1954, Major League Baseball returned to the city of Baltimore, drawing more than one million fans in its first year and laying the foundation for decades of success on and off the field. With three World Series titles (1966, 1970, and 1983) and six Baseball Hall of Famers including Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Jr., Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, and Earl Weaver, the Baltimore Orioles are one of baseball's most-storied franchises. In 1992, Oriole Park at Camden Yards debuted and has since become "The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball," helping to create significant tourism and economic development by welcoming nearly 75 million visitors to downtown Baltimore. Most recently, the Orioles were the winningest club in the American League from 2012-16, reaching the postseason three times in that span. As a club, the Orioles have developed and now operate the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), one of the leading U.S. regional sports media properties, which reaches millions of television households across seven states. The club also reaches millions more fans through the 45-station Orioles Radio Network.
