The Birdland Power Company

The franchise got its start in 1901 in Wisconsin, with a lineage that traced back to the original Milwaukee Brewers of the Western League. They were one of the only teams to survive when that league became the American League, but left town for Missouri just a year later. In 52 years as the St. Louis Browns, the team managed to win 1 league pennant before their finances ran out and, after the league wouldn’t let them return to Milwaukee, headed for the East Coast instead.

In Baltimore, the Orioles found a level of success they hadn’t reached anywhere else. Players like Frank Robinson, Mike Cuellar, and Cal Ripken, Jr. helped the team rack up 6 more pennants and 3 World Series wins. After a downturn that stretched into the 2000s, the Orioles have roared back in the 2010s to be a regular threat in the MLB Playoffs.

Orioles Magic

Along with establishing Baltimore as a Major League city, the Orioles led the way when they left-behind their cookie-cutter stadium to build an iconic new park in the heart of downtown. The Washington Nationals’ arrival in the Beltway gave Birdland their own interleague rival and inspired a renewed sense of Maryland pride, giving the team a stronger identity and as much energy as at any time in their history.
