About this book

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.

The Baseball History of Baltimore Orioles Washington Post Edition FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Who would this baseball book make a great gift for?

Our baseball history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of baseball. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual baseball teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
