Cover Colour
The Orioles began playing in Baltimore in 1954, becoming the best team in professional baseball. For the 18 years that followed their move, the team was led by Frank Robinson, Boog Powell, and Cal Ripken Jr., claiming six American League pennants and three World Series titles. They dropped only two games across all three series! The Orioles moved into Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which was the first of the retro-classic ballparks to be built near the turn of the century.
More recently, Lou Gehrig’s record of 2,130 consecutive games was finally broken by Cal Ripken in 1995 – a feat that features in the book. Also included are the playoff years of ’96 and ’97, as well as the 9-6 victory over the New York Yankees in 2012.
This book is filled with newspaper coverage about the team as originally printed in the Washington Post.
