The Baltimore Orioles are obviously in a rebuilding stage. With Miguel Tejada and Erik Bedard traded and Brian Roberts potentially on the move, new prospects should come into play to help restore this once proud franchise. For now, look for the 2008 Baltimore Orioles to battle with the Tampa Bay Rays to stay out of last place in the American League East.

Team History

The City of Baltimore fielded a major league baseball team in 1901, as members of the fledgling American League. The city's major league presence did not last long however, as the team, known as the Orioles, quickly moved to New York City where they later became the New York Yankees. Baltimore fielded a moderately successful team in the International League until 1954, when the American League approved the move of the moribund St. Louis Browns to Baltimore.

The Orioles opened the 1954 season with a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Additional wins would be harder to come by however, and the Orioles largely encountered mediocrity until 1966, when one of the most lop-sided trades in Major League History brought Frank Robinson from the Cincinnati Reds to the Orioles. Teaming up with Brooks Robinson, Boog Powell, and a host of others, the 1966 Orioles took Baltimore to its first World Series, which resulted in a surprising sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 1966 season served as a springboard for the Orioles, who posted one of the American League's best records between 1966 and 1983. During that time the team would win six American League pennants and three World Series. The Orioles have struggled somewhat since then, with its only playoff appearances since 1983 coming in 1996 and 1997. In fact, the Orioles have failed to post a winning record since 1997, which many Orioles fans attribute to team owner Peter Angelos, who is generally perceived to play too large a role in the team's personnel decisions.

Despite the unspectacular on-field record since 1983, the Orioles can claim a place as one of the most influential franchises in sports since then, as the team's partnership with the State of Maryland to build and operate Oriole Park at Camden Yards started a trend felt in all professional sports of newer and more fan-friendly stadiums than had previously existed. This trend also included a heavy component of taxpayer-based financing, a trend which is now falling out of favor. Even now, more than 15 years after its opening game however, Oriole Park remains a standard against which all new stadia are judged.

Currently, the Orioles are embracing a rebuilding movement which saw the team trade away most of its established talent in exchange for prospects prior to the 2008 season. As of July 2008, the return on the investment in youth had yielded greater results than anticipated, as the Orioles posted a winning record through the first half of the season. Orioles fans are looking forward to seeing this young talent develop and return the Orioles to the glory days of long ago.
