"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Battle of the Beltways and the 1997 ALDS

One of these groups is the Battle of the Beltways. Here at MASN, we're fortunate enough to bring fans wall-to-wall coverage of not just one, but two major league teams, and it's always fun when the Orioles and Nationals meet in each...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trey Mancini gifts O's comeback win

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trey Mancini gifts O's comeback win
Trey Mancini was the gift that kept on giving this past season for the Orioles. Coming into spring training with questions of whether he was ready, where he would play and if he could make the big league club, Mancini broke camp with the Orioles and produced one of the best rookie seasons in franchise history. In 147 games, he slashed .293/.338/.488 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs, finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting, behind the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Red Sox's...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Adam Jones records career hit No. 1,500

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Adam Jones records career hit No. 1,500
The 2017 season was full of record-breaking games for Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. One of his first celebratory moments came on April 24, when he recorded his 1,500th career hit with a fifth-inning single against the Rays' Chris Archer. Always humble, Jones didn't realize he reached a milestone until after the game: His day wasn't over yet. In the seventh inning, Jones' 1,501st hit was a two-run homer that gave the O's the lead in a 6-3 win. Jones ended the season with 1,650 career...

"Word art" print of Camden Yards contains names of every player in O's history

"Word art" print of Camden Yards contains names of every player in O's history
If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many words would it take to quantify Orioles history, from the time the team landed in Baltimore from St. Louis in 1954 to the Trey Mancini strikeout that ended the Birds' 2017 campaign at Tropicana Field on Oct. 1? For Philadelphia artist Daniel Duffy, the answer is simple: 1,046, the number of players that have donned Orioles orange and black in the team's history. Duffy, 37, has created one of this year's hottest O's-themed holidays gifts: a...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trumbo crushes first opening day walk-off homer in O's history
On April 3, Orioles fans were spoiled with a dramatic and thrilling opening day contest in a 2016 American League wild card game rematch against the Blue Jays.

Camden Yards hosts Maryland Food Bank event to bring holiday meals to those in need
On most gamedays, people stream through the gates at Camden Yards ready to enjoy a baseball game. On Wednesday, what was leaving the ballpark carried far more significance. Teams of volunteers from Baltimore's corporate community braved a November chill on the stadium's main concourse this morning to pack bags containing a holiday feast for those in need. The Maryland Food Bank's "Pack to Give Back Local" will provide 12,600 meals - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry...

From Camden Yards to World Series: Remembering Hailey Dawson's first pitch in Birdland
If you thought the youngster who threw out the first pitch at Minute Maid Park before tonight's Game 4 of the World Series looked familiar, you're right.

Zach Wilt: Looking at the Orioles' window to win

Zach Wilt: Looking at the Orioles' window to win
I used to be a firm believer in the "window to win" methodology in baseball. Not familiar with the "window to win?" I can explain. The Orioles are a small market team that will never have the payroll to compete in the free agent market with the Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs or Yankees. That means that they have to acquire quality young talent with a mid-to-low payroll. In order to do that, they have to build through the draft or add high-upside and controllable players. As a result, they find...
