The Baseball History of Baltimore Orioles Washington Post Edition

BALTIMORE IS ON THE BRINK, the Dodgers running out of answers. Dave McNally delivers, the defence stands firm, and history is seconds from being sealed. Then it’s over — the final out is recorded, and the Baltimore Orioles are World Series champions. A stunning sweep in 1966, four straight victories, dominance from first pitch to last. Frank Robinson has led them here, the pitching has been untouchable, and Los Angeles never truly stood a chance!

Follow the story of the Baltimore Orioles through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports published in The Washington Post. This edition charts the rise, triumphs, and defining moments of one of baseball’s great franchises — exactly as they were reported at the time.

– The Orioles’ arrival in Baltimore in 1954 and their rapid emergence as a powerhouse
