BALTIMORE ORIOLES
PETER ANGELOS
MANAGING PARTNER
Peter Angelos, the Principal Owner and Managing Partner of the Baltimore Orioles, has brought
dynamic leadership to the ballclub and to the community since he and his fellow investors restored the
team to local ownership in August, 1993.
Under his 23-year stewardship, the Orioles have reached the American League Championship Series
three times and the playoffs four times, led the league in attendance five times the first times in franchise history and hosted
such historic occasions as the first games between a Major League Baseball team and Cuba in nearly 40 years and Cal Ripkens
2,131st consecutive game. In a testament to the enduring popularity of the team, in 2008 the Orioles welcomed their 100 millionth
fan in franchise history and Oriole Park at Camden Yards welcomed its 50 millionth fan in just 17 seasons. Opened in 1992, Oriole
Park is the ballpark which reached the 50 million fan milestone in the shortest period of time in the history of baseball.
The Orioles ownership has committed to building a winner by rebuilding the farm system with young talent and utilizing analytics
to identify complementary players. Under Mr. Angelos, the Orioles have dramatically increased their stake in scouting and player
development, both in the United States and internationally. Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Dan Duquette and
his staff are paving the way to a new era of Orioles baseball designed to further fortify the player development and scouting areas
while building on the talent already at the Major League level. This commitment paid off in 2012, when several players scouted
internationally combined with homegrown talent to help the Orioles to the American League Wild Card and a trip to the Division
Series. A second straight winning season followed in 2013, and the team captured the American League East Division title in
2014, winning 96 games and advancing to the American League Championship Series. In the past four seasons, the Orioles have
led the American League with 355 regular season wins and posted four straight .500 or better performances.
In addition, Mr. Angelos vision in creating the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) maintained the integrity of the Orioles
television territory. In conjunction with Major League Baseballs relocation of the Nationals in Washington, D.C., Mr. Angelos,
refusing to allow the division or diminution of the Orioles exclusive television territory, offered instead to share the Orioles
exclusive television territory with the Nationals and to form a jointly-owned regional sports network that would professionally
produce and present the games, shows, and programming of both teams throughout the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area
and the seven-state region served by MASN.
Orioles games are now distributed to a larger audience than ever, as the network is available to more than 7.4 million households
from Harrisburg, Pa. to Charlotte, N.C. The network introduced pregame and postgame shows for every game and recruited
Emmy award-winning, network-caliber broadcast teams, which include Hall of Famers and World Series MVPs. While the Orioles
maintain a majority ownership interest in the network, MASN treats both teams equally in all matters. In 2016, the network began
its 12th year televising Washington Nationals games and its ninth season as the Orioles television outlet as part of its 24-hour
programming schedule.
In addition to televising every available Nationals and Orioles game, Mr. Angelos wanted the network to highlight local collegiate
programs whose games had not previously been televised. Many local Maryland schools are among the 200 NCAA football and
basketball games televised by MASN every year.
Mr. Angelos has been an industry leader in professional baseball and has helped strengthen the national pastime. He was the
only owner to serve on the committee that negotiated the historic 2002 labor agreement between Major League Baseball and the
MLB Players Association the first such agreement without a strike in the 30-plus years of labor negotiations between the groups.
His involvement in those labor negotiations was hailed by both sides. Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association
were able to reach a five-year agreement without a strike, the first settlement without a work stoppage since the rise of the players
labor movement in 1969, setting the stage for a second such agreement in the fall of 2006.
The Orioles owner also has taken the lead in helping utilize baseball as a bridge among people. He spearheaded the effort to
have the Orioles and a team of Cubas best players engage in an historic two-game series in the two countries, a match-up
viewed as a way to transcend politics and bring about closer cultural and social ties between the people of the United States
and Cuba. He also helped to develop the first baseball team to represent Greece in Olympic baseball competition at the 2004
Olympics in Athens and thereafter to establish baseball on a permanent basis for Greek youth. This effort was done in compliance
with former Commissioner Bud Seligs program to extend the internationalization of baseball.
At Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Mr. Angelos has taken constructive steps off the field to enhance the fan experience. In order to
keep baseball games an affordable family experience, Angelos has insisted the club offer a range of ticket pricing. Furthermore,
at his direction, Oriole Park maintains one of the most fan-friendly food policies in all of professional sports, allowing outside food

2016 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE

Mr. Angelos, who was elected to and served on the Baltimore City Council from 1959-63, has long been active in civic and
community endeavors. He currently is Chairman of WestSide Renaissance, Inc., the nonprofit organization of civic leaders that is
spearheading the $1 billion revitalization of Downtown Baltimores west side. He also is a board member and major benefactor of
Charles Street Development Corp., which is working to enhance Baltimores historic avenue. In this regard, he has entered into
a unique partnership with the Johns Hopkins University School of Continuing Studies to ensure they maintain its presence in the
downtown area with a building at Charles and Fayette Streets devoted to business education.
Mr. Angelos serves as a member of the board for a number of colleges, hospitals, and civic organizations and has been widely
honored for his commitment to higher education and civic causes. He has received honorary doctorate degrees from Mount Saint
Marys College, Loyola College of Maryland, and the University of Baltimore. He is a member of the Business-Higher Education
Forum, the Supreme Court Historical Society, the American Academy of Achievement, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor
Society. He is a recipient of the AFL-CIO Social Justice Award.
Mr. Angelos is also a strong supporter of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture. He
serves on the Baltimore museums Board of Directors and, in addition to giving personal financial support, was instrumental in
helping the museum secure funding from the state of Maryland.
In 2008, he made a $5 million, dollar-for-dollar matching pledge to support the construction of a new 190,000 square foot law
school building that opened in April of 2013 as part of the John and Frances Angelos Law Center at the University of Baltimore
Law School. In both 2010 and 2013, Mr. Angelos donated an additional $5 million to his alma mater, bringing his total contribution
to the project to $15 million. Mr. Angelos also donated $1 million to the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2013 to support
the academic partnership between the law school and historically black colleges and universities, an initiative renamed for his
sister, the Fannie Angelos Program for Academic Excellence.
In 2013, Mr. Angelos and his wife, Georgia, donated $2.5 million to St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore for the Angelos Medical
Pavilion, a new medical building featuring an expanded cancer institute that opened in the spring. Also in 2013, Mr. Angelos
contributed $2.5 million to Franklin Square Hospital for the construction of the Angelos Center for Lung Diseases, a new lung

The son of Greek immigrants, Mr. Angelos was born on July 4, 1929 in Pittsburgh, Pa. The family moved to Baltimore and he was
raised in the industrial neighborhood of Highlandtown in East Baltimore. He graduated from Patterson Park High School and from
the University of Baltimore, where he was valedictorian of his class at the School of Law. An attorney since 1961, he has built the
Law Offices of Peter G. Angelos, P.C., into one of the nations leading personal injury law firms representing the victims of harmful
products. Throughout his legal career, Mr. Angelos has been a champion for ordinary citizens and has taken on some of the most
powerful corporations in the country, including asbestos manufacturers, the tobacco companies, and the pharmaceutical industry.

MINOR
LEAGUES

Through cash contributions, ticket and memorabilia donations, club resources, and promotion, over 800 nonprofit groups are
aided by the Orioles each year. The Orioles Charitable Foundation has contributed to organizations such as the Salvation Army,
the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, the National Kidney Foundation, House with a Heart, Junior Advancement, and the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society Brain Gala. Also among recipients of Orioles support is the John Steadman Cancer Initiative, which raises
funds for cancer research and awareness in memory of the longtime Baltimore sportswriter who succumbed to the disease in
2001. Through its foundation and client contributions, the Orioles have donated millions of dollars to various charitable causes,
including for the 17th straight year being sponsors of the Baltimore Symphony Gala. In 2015, the Orioles partnered with the
American Heart Association (AHA) to serve as mission engagement chair for the 31st Annual Baltimore Heart Ball, after serving as
event chair for the 30th Baltimore Heart Ball in 2014. The Orioles became the first professional sports team to lead such an effort
since the AHAs founding in 1924. The 2014 event raised a record-setting $810,000 to benefit breakthroughs in cardiovascular
disease research, education programs and advocacy efforts. A considerable portion of the funds are directed to local institutions
such as Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland.

RECORDS &
HISTORY

In addition to building a club fans can be proud of, Mr. Angelos has overseen the efforts of the Orioles to make significant
contributions to the community, particularly for children. Under Mr. Angelos direction, the club launched OriolesREACH in 2007
to centralize its community relations initiatives in an effort to better reach those who needed the most assistance. Over 12,000
children experience a game at Oriole Park each season thanks to the OriolesREACH Gameday Experience Program, which
provides complimentary tickets, transportation, concessions, and souvenirs to those who might otherwise not be able to attend a
game. Other annual OriolesREACH initiatives include the Food & Funds Drive, Blood Drive, Equipment Drive, and Kids Holiday
Party, among other diverse and meaningful programs.

and beverages to be brought into the ballpark. Despite an industry-wide trend toward selling stadium naming rights, Angelos has

From October 29, 1953, when the transfer of the St. Louis Browns franchise became official until Williams purchased the club late
in 1979, the Baltimore Baseball Club, Inc. was publicly held and was operated by a group of Baltimore investors which owned
a majority share of the BBCI. Among those who played key roles in the operation of the franchise during that 26-year period
were: Former chief executives Clarence Miles, who organized the group that secured the St. Louis Browns for Baltimore and
who served as the clubs first president; James Keelty, Jr.; Joseph A. W. Iglehart; and Jerry Hoffberger, as well as longtime club

On October 4, 1993, American League owners unanimously approved the sale of ownership of the Orioles from then-principal

JOHN P. ANGELOS
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
For more than two decades, John Angelos has led business operations and strategic management
for the Orioles organization. He also serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of the MidAtlantic Sports Television Network (MASN), one of the leading sports properties in the U.S. Angelos
is widely recognized by professional associations, media outlets, and trade publications as a sports
industry expert and has appeared as a guest on, among many other major networks and outlets,
CBS, Bloomberg Television and Radio, PBS, MSNBC, Fox Sports, Rogers Media, and The Nation. He also serves on the Global
Sports Summit Advisory Board and has appeared as an expert panelist at the Bloomberg Sports Media Summit, Leaders in
Sport Summit, and Duke Universitys Coach K Leadership and Ethics Institute. He frequently serves as a guest lecturer at law
and business schools on media, sports and business topics, and in 2015, he received honorable mention as Marylander of the
Year. Angelos has been recognized by industry bible, Sports Business Journal, as a top-ten decision maker on in-market MLB
streaming and for his reinvention of the spring training partnership model.
Angelos created and developed the unprecedented, public-private partnership between the Orioles, the state of Florida, and
Sarasota County that resulted in the Orioles making their Spring Training home in Sarasota, Fla. Angelos re-envisioned the
model through which a Major League Baseball club would engage with and deliver economic value to their Spring Training and
year-round home through a one-of-a-kind partnership in which the Orioles would contribute their facilities, industry marketing
and entertainment expertise, and multimedia platforms toward driving incremental tourism through a sister-regional, crossmarketing partnership approach. Angelos created an industry-first sports, real estate, and tourism development concept and
led the negotiation effort to complete a 30 year agreement, appearing before numerous state, county, and local government,
business, and civic bodies in order to successfully bring the project to fruition. The creative development project culminated
with the Orioles securing $31.2 million in public funding to be used by the club to design and build a state of the art ballpark
and year-round training facility. Sarasota Countys tourism and convention agency, Visit Sarasota County, recently announced
that after six seasons of this unique marketing partnership initiative, the Mid-Atlantic region had surpassed the New York area
in becoming the number one source of visitors to Sarasota County. Additionally, a recent government study concluded that the
Orioles partnership had far exceeded initial projections and now annually generates more than $81 million in economic impact
for the greater Sarasota area.
As part of the Orioles one-of-a-kind partnership with its southern home, Angelos also pioneered development of the Orioles
year-round presence in Sarasota through Spring Training, baseball and fitness clinics, tournaments, and countless events that
give back to the community and host approximately 150,000 annual visitors. This year, Angelos created and launched the Orioles
Health & Fitness Challenge, a pilot program and collaboration between the Orioles and Sarasota County Schools and other
community partners designed to use the Orioles public platform to encourage healthy life choices by young people in nutrition,
diet, exercise and tobacco-avoidance among middle school-aged children throughout Sarasota County. Angelos and former
Orioles All-Star second baseman Brian Roberts traveled to McIntosh Middle School in Sarasota to launch the program and
discuss the importance of sports teams investing in the long-term health and habits of future generations. The six-week program
was offered in nine county schools for approximately 4,000 students who participated in a variety of health and fitness activities
that used Orioles baseball as an incentive to complete the challenge, offering every participant who completed the program
weekly prizes, complimentary admission, and healthy meals for the child and a parent at an Orioles Spring Training game of his
or her choice.
Angelos also played an important role in the development and design of the Orioles Sarasota venue, designed by noted architect
David Schwarz, which, like its acclaimed sister ballpark, Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, designed by Joe Spear
and Ben Barnert of renowned HOK, has been heralded for its combination of turn-of-the-century ballpark design and modern
fan amenities situated in a vibrant downtown setting. Oriole Park at Camden Yards has set the modern attendance record for
all sports facilities in North America by welcoming its fifty millionth attendee in just its first seventeen seasons and with total
attendance now surpassing 65 million fans, the success of the concept and design of the Orioles new Sarasota ballpark has
been as spectacular during its first six seasons in breaking not only all Orioles attendance records, but all attendance records in
the long history of Sarasota as a host of Spring Training Baseball.
In addition to launching a host of new community programs and events in both Baltimore and Sarasota in 2015, Angelos introduced
a new method of engaging with fans on a more personal level by hosting Twitter Q&A sessions using the hashtag #AskJPA at
regular intervals throughout the course of the season. Angelos discussed Orioles fan initiatives for better customer service,
diplomatic changes in Cuba and the resulting impact on teams, ballpark entertainment, ballpark upgrades and renovations, digital
streaming of games, and economic competitive balance objectives in MLB, among other topics.

2016 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE

Angelos joined the Orioles organization in January 1994 as Special Assistant to the Chairman, and oversaw the reorganization of
the Sales, Ticketing, Ballpark Operations, and Customer Service departments of the franchise to provide more personal service
to fans. In the role of Executive Vice President of the club since 1999, Angelos responsibilities expanded in that role to include all
Marketing and Promotion, Sales, Broadcasting, Operations, and General and Administrative areas, and all Business Operations
of the franchise. In 2001, as part of his broadcasting development role, Angelos participated in instituting and further developing
Orioles Television, the in-house television production, sales, and distribution arm of the Orioles franchise that would later evolve
into the full-time regional sports television network MASN in 2005.

Angelos also expanded the Orioles radio platform in 2006 by launching the Orioles Radio Network, the franchises in-house
radio arm, to bring the club comprehensive control of all aspects of its network affiliate distribution, programming development,
sales and sponsorship revenues, and marketing and development of the Orioles brand on the radio platform. The move brought
dramatic new pre-game and post-game shows, enhanced in-game features and interview content for listeners and fans, a
strong talent team focused upon former Orioles players, incremental access to Orioles games on radio for millions of new
fans, and enhanced new sponsorship sales and co-marketing opportunities for Orioles partners. In the Baltimore market, the
groundbreaking radio rightsholder partnership resulted in the expansion of the Orioles radio presence from that of a single
broadcast station to a strategic partnership featuring a co-marketing and promotional reach across the region. Due to the launch,
the club was able to triple the distribution of the Orioles Radio Network, which is now broadcast on over 30 affiliated stations
reaching millions of listeners in seven Mid-Atlantic states.

In 1998, Angelos was a member of the Orioles delegation that traveled to Havana, Cuba to discuss a historic people-topeople exchange between the United States and Cuba where the Orioles would play the Cuban National team in international
competition. After extensive dialogue over more than a year, including multiple interactions with the highest level government
representatives of both countries, the effort culminated in March of 1999 with the playing of a two-game series, in Havana, Cuba,
and at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. It was the first and only game played by a professional American sports team
during the 55 year disruption of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The historic exchange featured traveling parties
of Americans and Cubans, respectively, that went beyond the baseball teams to include artists, childrens groups, physicians,
and academics, creating a cultural and sports exchange unprecedented in modern Cuban-American relations. The series also
brought about substantial strides in the international movement to normalize relations between the two countries looking toward
a future end to the travel ban and embargo that unfortunately divided the people of both nations.

Building upon his international experience in developing sport and baseball as a catalyst for creating positive societal change
in Cuban-American relations, Angelos led the project to build bridges between Greece and the United States and to expand
baseball internationally through the development of a team that could represent Greece in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens,
Greece. Angelos assembled a five year development plan and organized a developmental team of coaches and scouts that
assisted the Greek Olympic Committee in developing baseball teams competing in the European and World Championships and
ultimately to compete in the Athens Olympics. Beginning with no homegrown baseball players in the country, within a five year
span, Angelos developed an intramural national league in Greece that developed players for international competition and crafted
teams of the Greek ethnic origin that won a gold medal in the European Pool B Championship, a Silver medal in the European
Pool A Championships, and finished competitively in the 2004 Olympics.
Since 2012, Angelos has been more involved in the business operations of the club and had the privilege of representing the
club in the unveiling of the series of bronze sculptures commissioned and dedicated to the six Orioles who are members of the

In 2013, the Orioles went 85-77 and remained in postseason contention until the seasons final week. The year included Duquettes
1,000th career victory in a general manager role with a Major League team. In 2012, the Orioles made their first playoff appearance
since 1997, winning 93 games and the American League Wild Card, and pushing the AL Division Series to five games.
Duquettes eight seasons as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Red Sox from 1994 through 2001 included
three playoff teams (1995, 1998, and 1999), and his acquisitions helped lay the groundwork for the clubs 93 wins in 2002 and
their first World Series championship in 86 years in 2004. The club made the playoffs in back-to-back years in 1998 and 1999,
the first time in 80 seasons the franchise had accomplished the feat. Numerous key contributors on the 2004 team were acquired
during Duquettes tenure. Under his leadership, Boston compiled a .544 winning percentage (695-582).
Duquette also showed a commitment to expanding Bostons reach in the international market, finishing the 2001 season with 12
of the players on the clubs 40-man roster born outside the United States. At Bostons 2002 Spring Training camp, players from
10 different countries were represented.
The Red Sox minor league system was shaped into a feeder system for the Major League club under Duquettes watch, with
homegrown players including Nomar Garciaparra, Shea Hillenbrand, Casey Fossum, and Trot Nixon making contributions to
the team. Future Major League players Kevin Youkilis, David Eckstein, Hanley Ramirez, and Freddy Sanchez were also drafted
or signed during Duquettes tenure. The talent in the Red Sox minor league system also enabled Duquette to trade for Pedro
Martinez, and for Boston to later acquire Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett. Red Sox minor league affiliates finished with an overall
record over .500 in five of Duquettes last six seasons with the organization.
Prior to joining the Red Sox, Duquette spent six seasons with the Montreal Expos, joining the club as Director of Player
Development in October of 1987 and being promoted to Assistant General Manager in 1990, followed by a two-year stint as Vice
President and General Manager from 1992-93. At the time of his promotion, he was the youngest general manager in the Major
Leagues. During his six years with Montreal, Duquette was instrumental in assembling Expos teams that contended from 199294, and acquiring Ken Hill, Mel Rojas, Larry Walker, John Wetteland, Marquis Grissom, Jeff Shaw, and Pedro Martinez. He also
signed stars Vladimir Guerrero, Jose Vidro, and Javier Vazquez, and named Felipe Alou the first manager from the Dominican
Republic in Major League history in 1992.
Despite one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, Montreal compiled a 255-183 record (.582 winning percentage) from 1992-94,
the best record in baseball over the span. The Expos had baseballs best record in the strike-shortened 1994 season (74-40), a
team Duquette constructed. In 1992, Duquette was named The Sporting News Major League Executive of the Year and the UPI

BIRTHPLACE/RESIDENCE: Born in DeFuniak Springs, FLResides in
Dallas, TX and Baltimore, MD
CONTRACT STATUS: Signed through 2018
MAJOR LEAGUE SERVICE: Entering his 23rd season as a manager
in professional baseball, his 18th season as a manager in the Major
Leagues, and his seventh as manager of the Orioles.

MANAGERIAL/COACHING CAREER

A three-time Manager of the Year (1994, 2004, and 2014), Buck Showalter enters his seventh season with the Orioles.
Showalter currently ranks fourth among active Major League managers and 31st all-time with 1,340 career victories. In
his managerial career, Showalter is 1,340-1,242 in 17 seasons as manager of the New York Yankees (313-268; 19921995), Arizona Diamondbacks (250-236; 1998-2000), Texas Rangers (319-329; 2003-06), and Orioles (458-409; 2010present). He recorded his 1,000th career win on May 1, 2012 at New York-AL. On January 16, 2013, the Orioles announced a contract extension for Showalter through 2018.
Showalter was hired as the 19th manager in Orioles history on July 29, 2010, and took the helm on August 2, directing the
club to a 34-23 finish, the second-best record in the American League over the last 57 games behind Minnesotas 35-22
finish. Showalter became the first manager since 1900 to take over a team on August 1 or later and win more games
the rest of the way (34) than the club won before he took over (32). He is also the first manager in Major League history
to win seven of his first eight games after taking over a team in mid-season that was 20 or more games under .500.
Over the last four seasons, the Orioles have won more games (355) than any other American League club, finishing .500
or better each year. The Orioles have also committed the fewest amount of errors and slugged the most home runs (854)
in Major League Baseball since the beginning of the 2012 season.
Under Showalters guidance, the 2014 Orioles went 96-66 and won the American League East division title for the first
time since 1997, 12.0 games ahead of the New York Yankees. After sweeping the Detroit Tigers in the American League
Division Series, 3-0, the Orioles made their first trip to the American League Championship Series since 1997 where,
they fell to the Kansas City Royals in four games. Following the season, Showalter earned his third Baseball Writers
Association of America (BBWAA) American League Manager of the Year award as well as his second Manager of the
Year honor from Baseball America (also 2012).
In 2012, Showalter led the Orioles to a 24-game improvement (69 wins in 2011 to 93 in 2012) and the American League
Division Series, where they fell to the New York Yankees, 3-2. The Orioles and Rangers reached the postseason in 2012
as the two Wild Card teams and met in a one-game playoff in Arlington to determine the Wild Card team for the Division
Series round. The Orioles advanced with a 5-1 win. Following the season, Showalter was named The Sporting News
2012 AL Manager of the Year and was awarded the C.I. Taylor Legacy Award by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum
as the top AL manager.
Showalter spent the first 19 years of his professional baseball career in the New York Yankees organization, culminating
in a four-year stint as the manager from 1992-95. In 1994, Showalter earned AL Manager of the Year honors, guiding
New York to a 70-43 record before the strike ended the season prematurely. The next season, he led the Yankees to
their first playoff berth in 14 years and managed the American League All-Star team. He was the youngest manager in
the Major Leagues in each of his four seasons in New York.
In November 1995, Showalter joined the Arizona Diamondbacks, 28 months before the expansion franchise began play,
and helped shape the new teams Major League operations. In 1999, he guided the Diamondbacks to a 100-win season
and the NL West division title, an improvement of 35 victories over the previous season, the most in Major League history.
Showalter joined the Texas Rangers prior to the 2003 season and, in 2004, led the club to an 18-win improvement over
the previous year, earning his second AL Manager of the Year honor from the BBWAA.
Showalters managerial career began in 1985 with the Oneonta Yankees. He managed for five seasons in the Yankees
minor league system, earning Eastern League Manager of the Year honors in 1989, prior to joining the Major League
coaching staff in 1990.

In 2005, the Orioles created the Ralph Salvon-Richie Bancells Award for Excellence in the Field of Emergency Medical Service,
to be given to local area medical professionals who think and act quickly, and demonstrate excellence in the wake of an emergency medical situation. Bancells was honored as the first recipient for his actions in diagnosing and promptly treating a stroke
suffered by Orioles coach Elrod Hendricks, minutes before the team was to board a flight home from Tampa Bay earlier in the
2005 season.
A native of Key West, Fla., Bancells graduated from Miamis Biscayne College (now St. Thomas University) in 1978. He earned a
Master of Science degree in physical education from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Ky., in 1981 and was honored by
EKU as a distinguished alumnus (along with assistant athletic trainer Brian Ebel) in 1999. He is certified by the National Athletic
Trainers Association (NATA) and is a licensed athletic trainer in Maryland and Florida.
Bancells and his wife, the former Carol Corcoran, were married on June 10, 1978. They have three children: Christopher, Andrea,
and Timothy, and a grandson, Ryan (son of Christopher). The Bancells live in Parkton, Md.

MAKING THE LAST ONE COUNT

MEDIA

Ted Williams wasnt the only major leaguer to hit a home run in his last major league at-bat when he went deep off the
Orioles Jack Fisher on September 28, 1960 at Fenway Park. Two former Os are among 37 players who have homered in
their farewell plate appearance. On September 30, 1956, Joe Frazier (who later managed the New York Mets) homered at
Washington off Senators pitcher Ted Abernathy in his final big league plate appearance. On August 2, 1994, Jeff Tackett
went deep at Minnesota off Twins hurler Mike Trombley in his last at-bat.

THE BABE RUTH BIRTHPLACE & MUSEUM


On February 6, 1895, George Herman Babe Ruth was born at 216 Emory Street in a Baltimore rowhouse located just
a long fly ball from Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Birthplace is one of the top baseball museums in the country,
featuring an extensive collection of Ruthian artifacts and mementos, as well as serving as the official museum of the
Baltimore Orioles and the archives of the Baltimore Colts and Johnny Unitas.
The Museum showcases different aspects of baseball in exhibits throughout the year. The Museum also hosts
appearances by past, present and future Orioles and other Major League stars, as well as nationally known authors of
sports publications for lectures and book signings.
Striving to exhibit its growing collection, the Museum opened Sports Legends at Camden Yards in May, 2005 in Camden
Station, adjacent to Oriole Park. Orioles owner Peter Angelos donated $1,000,000 to make the Camden Station project
a reality. The historic train station features many displays on the Orioles and Ruth, a full-size theatre, virtual reality
exhibits and hands-on learning areas for children, including a discovery room, classrooms and much more. The Museum
continues to maintain the current Babe Ruth Birthplace on Emory Street, with shuttle bus service between the sites.
For Museum information, call 410-727-1539 or visit www.baberuthmuseum.com.

DID YOU KNOW?


Os infielder Wayne Gross became the first player in major league history to hit at least 10 homers and driver in fewer
than 20 runs in a season in 1985. He hit 11 HR and drove in 18 runs. Os catcher Chris Hoiles holds the record for fewest
RBI (40) for a player with 20 home runs in a season, when he did it in 1992.
The last time a team had a right-handed and left-handed pitcher each win 20 games in a season in the American League
was 1980, when RHP Steve Stone (25) and LHP Scott McGregor (20) did it for the Orioles.
Orioles Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer is the only pitcher to win a World Series game in three different decades.

primarily to keep baseball in Baltimore by increasing season ticket sales. The Designated Hitters (DHs) became an
instrumental part of the Orioles organizational drive to put fans in the stands. Today, DHs work within the regional
corporate community as well as small businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, local government, and individual
customers to sell them on the Orioles. The DH staff members participate out of passion for their hometown team and
represent the Orioles as a strong volunteer sales support staff dedicated to the continuing success of the Orioles

Dugout Club) back in 1963 and administered it for 25 years. Membership rose from 75 youngsters the first year to a

constantly demonstrate the importance of competence and dedication whenever there is a job to be done.

first draft to reach the Major Leagues with the Orioles was sixth round selection Bill Dillman, a right-handed pitcher from Wake
Forest University. The most dazzling 1-2 picks in Orioles history came out of the 1967 draft when the Birds selected Bobby Grich
No. 1 and Don Baylor No. 2. The Orioles selected a record four players in the first round of the 1999 draft as compensation for
free agents lost the previous year.

EUTAW STREET HOME RUNS

Of the 82 home runs hit onto the Eutaw St. promenade since Oriole Park opened in 1992, Orioles batters have hit 34, including
eight by Chris Davis, the most by an individual. Jason Giambis three are the most by an opposing player. A single season-high 11
homers landed on Eutaw St. in 2012. Luke Scotts blast on July 19, 2008 is the only walk-off Eutaw St. home run in park history.

GRAND SLAM NOTES

OVERALL: The Os have out-slammed their opponents, 245-210, in their 62-year regular season history...The Orioles have hit three
postseason grand slams (one on the road and two in Baltimore - one each at Memorial Stadium and Oriole Park)...They have a 142-92
advantage in Baltimore during the regular season, including a 68-51 edge at Oriole Park at Camden Yards...TWO IN ONE INNING: Steve
Clevenger and Nolan Reimold each slugged a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning on September 11, 2015, the first set of teammates
to each hit a grand slam in the same inning since Carlos Beltran and Cliff Floyd of the New York Mets on July 16, 2006 vs. Chicago-NL...
THREE IN ONE GAME: The Orioles and Texas combined to hit a Major League-record three grand slams on August 6, 1986 in the Rangers
13-11 win at Memorial Stadium...Jim Dwyer and Larry Sheets hit fourth inning grand slams for the Orioles...Houston and the Chicago Cubs
tied the record on June 3, 1987...TWO IN ONE GAME: An Oriole has hit two grand slams in the same game three times...Chris Hoiles hit a
pair of grand slams on August 14, 1998 at Cleveland, connecting in the third and eighth innings...Jim Gentile and Frank Robinson previously
did it for the Os, and are among four players who have done it in consecutive at bats...Gentile hit slams in the first and second innings at
Minnesota on May 9, 1961...Robinson did it in the fifth and sixth innings at Washington on June 26, 1970...GENTILE HIT FIVE IN 1961: Gentile
set an American League record and tied the Major League record then held by the Cubs Ernie Banks when he hit five bases loaded homers
in 1961...The Yankees Don Mattingly broke the mark with six grand slams in 1987 and Clevelands Travis Hafner matched that record in
2006...POSTSEASON SLAMMING PITCHERS: Mike Cuellar and Dave McNally are the only two Major League pitchers to hit grand slams
in postseason play, and both did it in 1970 with the Orioles...Cuellar connected in ALCS Game 1 off the Twins Jim Perry (at Minnesota)...
McNally hit his in World Series Game 3 off the Reds Wayne Granger at Memorial Stadium...Cuellars slam was the first in LCS history...
GOPHER PITCHERS: Milt Pappas gave up six bases loaded homers as an Oriole, most by any Os hurler...Pappas gave up nine overall
in his career, tying Jerry Reuss (1969-90) and Ned Garver (1948-61) for second-highest career grand slams allowed in Major League
history behind Mike Jackson, who allowed 10...Jake Arrieta, Dave McNally, Scott McGregor, Alan Mills, Jesse Orosco, and Chris Ray are
next among Oriole pitchers, allowing four apiece...Jim Palmer never allowed a grand slam in 558 games spanning nearly 4,000 innings.

LIFETIME GRAND SLAMS BY ORIOLES


The Orioles have hit 142 regular season grand slams at home and two more in the postseason in Baltimore (Dave McNally in 1970 and
Bobby Bonilla in 1996).

On July 21, 2004, David Newhan hit one off Bostons Pedro Martinez at Fenway Park. It was the first by an Oriole since Phil Bradley accomplished the feat on June 8, 1990 at Memorial Stadium against the New York Yankees.
When Bradley circled the bases, it was the Orioles first inside-the-park home run since Al Bumbry did it against the Chicago White Sox on
August 21, 1976 at Comiskey Park.
The Orioles allowed two inside-the-park home runs in 2003. Detroits Shane Halter performed the feat on May 6 at Camden Yards off Pat
Hentgen, who was victimized again September 13 at Toronto by Greg Myers.

2016
ORIOLES

On August 22, 1993, Texas Rangers (and former Orioles) outfielder Butch Davis circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run off
Arthur Rhodes at Oriole Park. It was the first ever hit in the new park and first by a visiting player in Baltimore since August 17, 1960 when
Washingtons Lenny Green hit one off Jack Fisher.

On September 7, 2014, David DeJesus hit an inside-the-park home run off Bud Norris as Alejandro De Aza and David Lough nearly collided in
left-center field. The ball caromed off Lough into the left field corner and DeJesus circled the bases for his fourth career inside-the-park homer.

ORIOLE PARK

Orioles pitcher Jeremy Accardo allowed two inside-the-park home runs in 2011 as Bostons Jacoby Ellsbury accomplished the feat September 19 in Boston and Tampa Bays Evan Longoria tagged Accardo on June 12 in Baltimore for just the second inside-the-parker by an
opponent at Oriole Park.

On September 26, 2011, Robert Andino hit the first inside-the-park home run by an Oriole at Oriole Park. Andinos fly ball off Josh Beckett
caromed off the glove of Jacoby Ellsbury as he slammed into the centerfield wall. Ellsbury was unable to retrieve it as Andino circled the
bases.

IN REVIEW

On May 22, 2010, at Washington, Adam Jones hit an inside-the-park home run off Craig Stammen as Nyjer Morgan got a glove on the ball
keeping it in the park, but thought it went over. Jones circled bases as Morgan reacted in disbelief that he hadnt caught it.

*HR + RBI at that position only. Total HR/RBI for season are in parenthesis.

NOTES ON 20-GAME WINNERS: Although the Orioles


have not had one in the past 31 seasons, Baltimore
pitchers have produced 24 20-win seasons including 23
in the past 48 years (starting in 68), more than any other
Major League club...The As (17), Yankees (16), Cardinals
(13), Red Sox (12), White Sox (12), Braves (12), Dodgers
(12), Tigers (11), and Astros (10), Cubs (10), and Twins
(10) are the only other teams with 10 or more since 1968.
In 1971, four Baltimore pitchers reached the 20-win
plateau...The only other foursome in the history of major
league baseball to have achieved the feat was a quartet
from the 1920 White Sox (51 years earlier): Urban Red
Faber-23, Claude Williams-22, Dickie Kerr-21, and Ed
Cicotte-21...Despite that achievement, the White Sox
finished second that year, two games behind Cleveland.
Steve Stone was the earliest 20-game winner in club
history, winning his 20th game on August 19 en route to
a team record 25 victories in 1980...Three other Orioles
hurlers have recorded their 20th wins in August: McNally
(August 25) and Cuellar (August 27) in 1971, and Palmer
(August 20) in 1975.
The first Oriole to win 20, and the only one in the clubs
first 14 seasons in Baltimore (1954 through 1967), was lefthander Steve Barber in 1963.

TRIPLE PLAYS
The Orioles have executed 12 triple plays and have hit into 17 in 62 seasons.

MANAGER &
COACHES

The most recent triple play, and arguably most bizarre, took place on September 1, 2000 at Cleveland. In the second inning, with Sandy
Alomar, Jr. at the plate, Travis Fryman at second base and Wil Cordero at first base, SS Melvin Mora allowed Alomars short fly to left to
bounce in front of him. The Cleveland runners, thinking the infield fly rule had been called, did not run and Alomar headed to the dugout.
Mora picked up the ball and threw to 2B Jerry Hairston, who tagged Fryman and stepped on second to force Cordero. After realizing Alomar
had not reached first base, Sidney Ponson flipped the ball to Jeff Conine at first to retire Alomar. After some discussion by the umpires and
the ejection of Cleveland manager Charlie Manuel, the play stood and the inning ended.
The Orioles previous triple play, and their most recent one at home, came on August 25, 1992 against California. With Tim Salmon at third
and Chad Curtis at first, Gary Gaetti lined to 3B Leo Gomez who stepped on third to retire Salmon and threw to 1B Randy Milligann to
complete the triple play. It is the only triple play turned by the Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

2016
ORIOLES

The Orioles have hit into two triple plays at Oriole Park. The most recent was April 3, 1996 against Kansas City, when DH Bobby Bonilla
grounded into a 5-4-3-2 triple play. With Roberto Alomar at third base and Rafael Palmeiro at first, 3B Joe Randa gloved Bonillas grounder
and threw to 2B Bip Roberts to force Palmeiro. As Roberts threw to first to double up Bonilla, Alomar streaked toward the plate and was
thrown out by 1B Bob Hamelin, who threw to C Sal Fasano.
On April 12, 2013 at New York, Manny Machado hit into a 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play, the most recent triple play turned against the Orioles.

IN REVIEW

GOLD GLOVE AWARDS

The Gold Glove Award was initiated in 1957 by the Rawlings Sporting Goods Company in cooperation with The Sporting News to acknowledge individual defensive excellence by a vote of managers and coaches in each league. Third baseman Manny Machado earned his

BALTIMORE ORIOLES
ALL-STAR NOTES
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: The Orioles have had 15 All-Stars over the past four seasons (since 2012), tied for the third-most in the Major
Leagues in that span with San Francisco, behind only St. Louis (22) and Detroit (17), according to STATS, LLC...In that same time, 10
different Orioles have been named All-Stars, tied for fifth-most in the majors.
FOUR STRAIGHT: OF Adam Jones was named to his fourth straight All-Star team in 2015, becoming the sixth player in club history to make
the team in at least four straight seasons...He joined Cal Ripken, Jr. (1983-2001), Brooks Robinson (1960-74), Eddie Murray (1981-86),
Boog Powell (1968-71), and Frank Robinson (1969-72).
FIVE STARS: In 2013, the Orioles sent five players (Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Manny Machado, and Chris Tillman) to the AllStar Game in New York (Citi Field)... It was the first time since 1997 the Orioles had five or more All-Stars.
GAME WINNER: In 2009, in his first All-Star Game, CF Adam Jones went 0-1 with a sacrifice fly and the game-winning RBI...At 23 years
old, he was the third-youngest player with a game-winning RBI in the eighth inning or later of an All-Star Game, behind Ted Williams (1941)
and Hank Blalock (2003), each of whom did it at age 22...Jones was the youngest Oriole to make the AL squad since Mike Mussina (also
23) in 1992 and the youngest Os position player to make the squad since Cal Ripken, Jr. (22) in 1983.
MULTIFACETED: LHP George Sherrill, who had spent all or parts of five years in independent baseball, was named to the 2008 All-Star
team and pitched 2.1 scoreless innngs in the game which was held in the old Yankee StadiumAfter having 28 saves at the break, Sherrill
became the first pitcher since 1987 to work more than two innings in an All-Star Game.
DOUBLE-PLAY DUOS: In 2005, 2B Brian Roberts and SS Miguel Tejada became the first Orioles teammates to start in the All-Star Game
since 2B Roberto Alomar and 3B Cal Ripken, Jr. each started in 1998...They were the third 2B-SS tandem from the same team to start
for the AL since fan balloting returned in 1970, joining New Yorks Willie Randolph and Bucky Dent in 1981 along with Alomar and Ripken
in 1996.
CALS FINALE: 3B Cal Ripken, Jr., playing in his final All-Star Game, homered on the first pitch he saw in the third inning and went on
to win his second All-Star MVP Award in the 2001 All-Star Game at Seattles Safeco Field...Ripken, the lone Oriole selected to play in the
game, led off the inning and turned on the first pitch from Los Angeles Chan Ho Park to give the American League a 1-0 lead it would not
relinquish...It was the 19th time Ripken was either elected or selected to the AL All-Star squad, breaking Brooks Robinsons AL mark; he
technically started at shortstop after Texas Alex Rodriguez pushed him to the position and played third base himself in the first inning...
Ripken also won MVP honors in the 1991 game, homering at Toronto...With the 2001 home run, he became the oldest player to homer in
an All Star Game and the only Oriole to homer twice in All-Star play.
ALL-STAR STARTS/APPEARANCES: Cal Ripken, Jr. was elected to start 18 years, 17 of those by fan vote...He was unable to play because of injury in 2000...Other Orioles elected to starting berths are Brooks Robinson (four times); Roberto Alomar and Adam Jones (three
times); Boog Powell and Frank Robinson (two each); and Nelson Cruz, J.J. Hardy, Chris Davis, Bobby Grich, Ken Singleton, Eddie Murray,
Terry Kennedy, Brady Anderson, Brian Roberts, and Miguel Tejada (one each).
HOME RUN DERBY: A No. 5 seed in the 2015 Home Run Derby, Manny Machado was defeated by the Dodgers Joc Pederson (No. 4
seed) in the first round of the bracket format, 13-12...In 2014, Adam Jones was selected by captain Jose Bautista to represent the AL at
Target Field (Minneapolis)...After blasting four in the first round, Jones was ousted by Yoenis Cespedes in the second round, finishing with
seven home runs total...After leading the majors in homers at the break, Chris Davis took part in the 2013 Home Run Derby at Citi Field
in New York...He finished fourth...A last-minute replacement to the 2004 Home Run Derby at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Miguel Tejada
set records at the time for home runs in one round (15) and overall (27) to win the contest...He was the second Oriole to win the derby,
joining Cal Ripken, Jr., who hit 12 homers at Torontos SkyDome in 1991...Tejada also took part in the 2006 Home Run Derby in Detroit
after declining to participate in the 2005 contest, instead bowing to David Ortiz to represent the Dominican Republic in the revised United
States vs. the World format.
ORIOLES ALL-STAR HOMERS: Miguel Tejadas home run in the 2005 game at Detroit was the seventh overall by an Oriole in an All-Star
Game...Cal Ripken also hit two home runs in All-Star games, in 1991 (July 9 at Toronto off Dennis Martinez, two on) and 2001 (July 10 at
Seattle off Chan Ho Park, solo)...The others were by Brooks Robinson (July 11, 1967 at Anaheim off Fergie Jenkins, solo); Frank Robinson
(July 13, 1971 at Detroit off Dock Ellis, one on); Ken Singleton (August 9, 1981 at Cleveland off Tom Seaver, solo); and Roberto Alomar
(July 7, 1998 at Colorado off Trevor Hoffman, solo).
BALTIMORE AS ALL-STAR HOST: The Orioles have played host to two All-Star Games...The 25th Midsummer Classic was held at Memorial
Stadium in 1958, and the 64th All-Star Game was held at Oriole Park in 1993...On July 8, 1958, Orioles pitcher Billy ODell retired the final
nine batters as the AL posted a 4-3 win before 48,829 fans at Memorial Stadium...Baltimores Gus Triandos was the starting catcher, and
11 future Hall of Famers saw action in the game...In its second year of existence, Oriole Park at Camden Yards played host to baseballs
first-ever All-Star Week, including the ALs 9-3 win on July 13, 1993...The game drew 48,147 fans...Cal Ripken was the only Oriole to appear
in the game, going 0-for-3...Pitcher Mike Mussina was selected to the team but did not get into the game...FanFest, the baseball theme park
that is now a part of All-Star Week, drew 111,883 visitors during the five-day celebration...Perhaps the most lasting memories from All-Star
Week 93 came on Monday, July 12, at the annual Gatorade All-Star Workout...Juan Gonzalez crushed a ball off the facing of the upper deck
in left field, and Ken Griffey Jr. became the first player to hit the B&O Warehouse during the Home Run Derby.

The Orioles went 97-63 and claimed their first American League pennant, but faced the defending World Champion Los
Angeles Dodgers and a couple of pitchers named Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale in the World Series.
The underdog Orioles swept the four game series, beating Drysdale in Games 1 and 4. At the age of 20, Jim Palmer
beat Koufax in Game 2 to become the youngest pitcher to ever throw a shutout in the World Series.

MANAGER &
COACHES

Frank Robinson, who also won the Triple Crown in 1966, was named the World Series Most Valuable Player after
homering twice, but it was the pitching that led the way as the Orioles allowed just two runs on 17 hits in the entire
series, blanking the Dodgers over the final three games.
Following the season, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, and Boog Powell finished 1-2-3 in American League MVP voting.

A year after winning 109 games, the 1970 Orioles went 108-54 and steamrolled into the postseason, again facing the
Twins in the ALCS. The Birds brought their bats, scoring 27 runs on 36 hits in the three-game sweep. Earl Weavers
crew battered the Twins for six home runs in the three games, including a Game 1 grand slam by starting pitcher Mike
Cuellar.

MANAGER &
COACHES

In the World Series, the Orioles faced the mighty Cincinnati Reds, led by Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, and Pete Rose.
The Reds had recorded a 102-win season of their own and swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League
Championship Series.
The Orioles clubbed 10 home runs in the series and outscored the Reds 33-20 in the five-game set to claim their second
World Series crown. Series MVP Brooks Robinson made himself a household name with several sterling defensive
plays in the series which led Lee May to nickname him Hoover like the vacuum cleaner.

The Orioles recorded their franchise record third consecutive 100-win season, going 101-57. On the strength of starting
pitchers Dave McNally, Cuellar, and Palmer, the Oakland Athletics proved no match for the mighty Orioles in the ALCS
as the Birds swept the Athletics in three games, limiting them to seven runs over three games.

MANAGER &
COACHES

Waiting for the Orioles in the World Series were the Pirates, with superstars Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell.
The Orioles took a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, as McNally and Palmer recorded wins at home. The Pirates
rebounded to take all three games in Pittsburgh, pushing the Orioles to the brink of elimination in Game 6. With the
game tied through nine innings, Brooks Robinsons sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th frame scored Frank Robinson,
setting up Game 7. Clemente homered and Steve Blass went the distance to knock off the Orioles for the Pirates fourth
World Series title.

ORIOLES
REACH

Many Orioles fans will tell you the 1979 playoff run began on June 22, when Doug DeCinces two-out, two-run homer
in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a monumental comeback against Detroit, giving birth to Orioles Magic. The
Orioles finished 102-57, winning the division by eight games.

MANAGER &
COACHES

The Orioles played the California Angels in the ALCS and won the series opener in dramatic fashion on a pinch-hit,
three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning by John Lowenstein. The Birds continued their offensive attack in Game
2, jumping out to a 9-1 lead after three innings. The Angels stormed back, but the Birds held on for a 9-8 win and 2-0
series advantage. The Angels claimed Game 3 in Anaheim, but Scott McGregor went the distance in a six-hit shutout in
Game 4 to seal the American League crown.
Facing the We Are Family Pirates in the World Series, the Orioles jumped out to a 3-1 series lead, but the Pirates
battled back on the strength of their pitching staff as they allowed one run in Games 5 and 6 combined to force a Game
7 in Baltimore. The Birds took an early lead on a home run to start the third inning by Rich Dauer. But Stargell, the
Series MVP, answered with a two-run shot in the sixth inning off McGregor to lift the Pirates to a 4-1 win and World
Championship.

The Orioles were in fourth place in the East on August 12, but went 36-15 to finish the season and win the division by
six games. The Birds squared off with the Chicago White Sox in the ALCS and dropped a heartbreaker at home in the
series opener. Rookie Mike Boddicker, making his first postseason start in Game 2, tossed a five-hit shutout, striking out
14, to even the series for the Orioles. Eddie Murrays three-run homer in the first inning set the tone in Game 3 as the
Orioles rolled to an 11-1 win. Storm Davis and Tippy Martinez combined to blank the White Sox for 10 innings in Game
4, and Tito Landrums homer in the 10th helped the Birds to a 3-1 series win and their sixth World Series appearance.

MANAGER &
COACHES

After losing the series opener at home in a game where solo homers accounted for all three runs, the Birds bounced
back behind Boddickers second win of the postseason as he allowed just one unearned run in a 4-1 win. With a relief
win in Game 3, Palmer put the Orioles up two games to one, and became the only pitcher to win World Series games
in three different decades. McGregor took the hill in Game 5 on the brink of a World Championship, delivering a shutout
and the Orioles third World Championship.

The 1996 Orioles claimed the Wild Card spot in the postseason after setting a Major League-record with 10 different
players hitting at least 10 home runs. They continued their power prowess by homering nine times in the four-game
ALDS against Cleveland, winning the series, 3-1.

MANAGER &
COACHES

Home runs would be a factor again in the ALCS against the New York Yankees as the Birds had a 4-3 lead entering
the bottom of the eighth inning in Game 1. Derek Jeters fly ball to right was caught by a 12-year-old fan named Jeffrey
Maier, who reached over the wall into the field of play just before Os right fielder Tony Tarasco could make a play on the
ball. The umpires ruled it a home run, tying the game before series MVP Bernie Williams won it with a walk-off homer
in the 11th inning.
The Orioles left New York with a split of the first two games of the series, but the Yankees swept all three games in
Baltimore to advance to the World Series. The clubs combined for 19 home runs in the series (the Orioles hit nine),
accounting for 29 of the 46 runs scored.

GAME 1

The Orioles opened the ALCS at home against the Cleveland Indians, with Scott Erickson dazzling for 8.0 scoreless
innings in Game 1 as the Orioles won, 3-0. The next three games would be decided by one run, all going in favor of the
Tribe. The Orioles bounced back in Game 5, winning 4-2. Game 6 was a pitchers duel for the ages, as Mike Mussina
worked 8.0 scoreless innings for the Orioles, but Clevelands Charles Nagy and a cast of relievers were equally as
tough, leading to a scoreless game through 10 innings. Tony Fernandez hit a two-out home run off Armando Benitez in

The Orioles and Yankees squared off in the ALDS with the first two games before raucous crowds at Oriole Park. Game 1 was

Game 4 was another nail biter as the teams were tied through 12 innings. J.J. Hardy doubled home Manny Machado in the 13th

In the first American League Championship Series game at Oriole Park since 1997, the Orioles would rally to send Game 1
against Kansas City into extra innings. After going a Major League-best 14-6 in extra-inning games during the regular season, a
pair of home runs in the top of the 10th by Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas would sink the Orioles, 8-6. In Game 2, the Birds and
Royals would remain locked in a 4-4 draw before Kansas City pushed two runs across in the top of the ninth for a 6-4 victory and
a 2-0 lead in the series. The Orioles jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in Game 3, but the Royals tied the game in the fourth and took
a one-run lead in the sixth. The Kansas City bullpen posted four straight hitless innings to win 2-1. With Games 1-3 decided by a
total of five runs, Game 4 proved to be yet another thriller as the Royals scored twice in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. After a
solo home run from Ryan Flaherty cut Kansas Citys lead in half, the Royals bullpen once again stifled the Orioles lineup, tossing
3.2 scoreless innings in relief of starter Jason Vargas to complete the sweep.

After pulling into a tie for the division lead on July 3, the Orioles would not relinquish their first-place standing, eventually finishing
with the second-best record in Major League Baseball at 96-66 and their first American League East division title since 1997. The
Birds would draw the American League Central division champion Detroit Tigers in the ALDS, and faced the ALs last three Cy
Young Award winners at the time in Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, and David Price. After the Tigers pulled within one run in the
top of the eighth inning in Game 1, the Orioles erupted for eight runs in the bottom half of the frame en route to a 12-3 rout. In
Game 2, Detroit would climb out of an early hole with a five-run fourth inning, but the Birds would battle back, taking the lead in the
bottom of the eighth after a bases-clearing, three-run double off the bat of pinch hitter Delmon Young. The Orioles would complete
the sweep at Comerica Park in Game 3 behind 6.1 scoreless frames from starter Bud Norris and Nelson Cruzs two-run home run
in the sixth inning, winning 2-1 to set up an ALCS showdown with the Wild Card champion Kansas City Royals.

1872 The Lord Baltimores, the citys first professional team, begin play in the National Association. In their inaugural game

on April 18 in Washington, they beat the Olympics, 16-0. In their home opener on April 22, before 3,500 fans at Newington Park
(on Pennsylvania Avenue below Baker Street), they beat the New York Mutuals, 14-9. The team folded in its third season as a
rival franchise, the Maryland Base Ball Club, turned from amateur to pro and took its place in the league through 1874. By 1875
the National Association itself had folded.

MANAGER &

1882 A newly formed Lord Baltimores team makes its debut in the American Association, a new rival to the National League.

A year later, the franchise moves to newly built Oriole Park (on the southwest corner of what is now Greenmount Avenue and 25th
Street) and adopts the name Orioles, the first time that Marylands state bird would be used as a nickname in association with
Baltimores professional baseball team.

1884 Two more Baltimore teams are formed. One, also named the Orioles, plays in the new Union Association; by midseason they transferred to Lancaster, Pa., and the league folded after one season. The other, the Monumentals, becomes a
charter member of the Eastern Association, which would become todays International League, but the team breaks up after a mere

1914 Jack Dunn, owner, general manager, and manager of the International League Orioles, signs 19-year-old George
Herman Ruth out of a Baltimore orphanage. Oriole players kid Dunn about his babe, and a nickname is born. By July, Babe

THE ORIOLES HALL OF FAME


The Orioles Hall of Fame was conceived in 1977 by the Oriole Advocates
at the suggestion of two former presidents, Allen Barrett and Jack
Buckley, both of whom have since passed away. The Advocates continue
to administer the annual elections under the direction of their Hall of Fame
Committee.
Candidates may be elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame through two
channels: the regular vote by a panel of some 80 people, comprising
sportswriters, broadcasters, Oriole Advocates, and Orioles personnel; or
by a vote of the veterans committee, a group of 25 senior representatives
from the sports media, Oriole Advocates, and the Orioles front office.
Procedures for election to the Orioles Hall of Fame are based on those
used by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, requiring mention on 75
percent of ballots cast. All candidates must have served a minimum of
three full seasons with the Orioles. To be eligible for regular election, a
player, manager or coach must have been active in that capacity within
the last 15 years, but ceased serving in the position for which he was
nominated for at least one year. For consideration by the veterans committee, formed in 1989, a candidate must have ceased
serving in the capacity of consideration for at least 15 years.
In 2015, former Orioles third baseman MELVIN MORA was elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame. Mora played nine and a half
seasons with the Orioles from 2000-2009, compiling a .280 batting average and 158 home runs. His 808 games played at third
base are second only to Brooks Robinson on the clubs all-time list. Mora is also among the clubs career leaders in doubles (8th,
252), RBI (8th, 662), runs (10th, 709), home runs (11th, 158), total bases (11th, 2,073), hits (11th, 1,323), walks (11th, 465), games
played (12th, 1,256), and at-bats (12th, 4,733). Acquired from the Mets in July of 2000, Mora started at six different defensive
positions in his first four seasons with the Orioles before moving to third base in 2004. In 2004, Mora set the Orioles singleseason record with a .340 batting average, while also posting career-highs in home runs (27) and RBI (104). A two-time All-Star,
Mora also won a Silver Slugger Award and was twice named AL Player of the Month.
Additionally, the former left field platoon duo of JOHN LOWENSTEIN and GARY ROENICKE were enshrined as selections of
the Veterans Committee in 2015. The left-handed hitting Lowenstein and right-handed hitting Roenicke split playing time in left
field for the Orioles from 1979-1985 under the direction of manager Earl Weaver. The duo combined to hit 171 home runs and
registered 574 RBI in the seven seasons they played together for the Orioles. In their first season platooning in left, they combined
for 36 home runs and 98 RBI, helping the Orioles win the 1979 American League pennant.
Their most productive season came in 1982, when they combined for 45 home runs and drove in 140 runs as the club fell one
game short of winning the AL East title. The following year, the duo hit 34 home runs with 124 RBI, playing a pivotal role in the
Orioles third World Series title.

HERB ARMSTRONG AWARD WINNER

OPPONENTS

In 1995, the Oriole Advocates established the Herb Armstrong Award to honor non-uniformed personnel who have represented
the Orioles for at least five years and made a significant contribution to the ballclub, the community, or the sport of baseball.
The award is named after the beloved former educator, professional baseball player, manager, and longtime official for both the
Orioles International League and American League clubs who dedicated nearly 70 years of his life to the people of Baltimore,
his adopted hometown. Winners are selected by the Orioles Hall of Fame Veterans Committee and honored during the Orioles
Hall of Fame Weekend ceremonies.

MINOR
LEAGUES

In 2015, the Herb Armstrong Award was presented to former scout and front office executive Fred Uhlman, Sr. Before retiring
earlier in the year, Uhlman spent 46 years in professional scouting, including three decades with the Orioles. He joined the Orioles
as Scouting Director in January of 1985 and later served as Special Assistant and Professional Scout. Uhlman established the
Orioles first baseball academies in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, and also was responsible for signing Jeff Ballard,
Steve Finley, Gregg Olson, Arthur Rhodes, and David Segui, among many other players for the club.

The MVO Award was initiated when the Orioles returned to the Majors in 1954. A
decade ago it was renamed in memory of Hatter, the distinguished and lovable dean of
Baltimore baseball writers who covered the Orioles for The Baltimore Sun for 27 years.
The award winner is selected through a vote of writers and broadcasters who cover the
Orioles on a regular basis. There have been four ties, and no award was given in 1994.
Thirteen players - Eddie Murray (seven), Cal Ripken, Jr. (four), Brooks Robinson (four),
Rafael Palmiero (three), Frank Robinson (three), Ken Singleton (three), and Chris Davis,
Adam Jones, Stu Miller, Jim Palmer, Boog Powell, Brian Roberts, and Miguel Tejada

MOST VALUABLE ORIOLES

First baseman Chris Davis won the award in 2015, becoming the first Oriole in club
history to log two separate 40-homer seasons, slugging 47 home runs, the fourth-highest
single-season total in club history. He led Major League Baseball in home runs, finished
third in RBI (117), seventh in slugging percentage (.562), 13th in runs scored (100), and
10th in batting WAR (3.7) and 23rd in WAR (4.5). Davis also led the Major Leagues with
eight multi-homer games. Along with his ranks among MLB, he also paced Orioles hitters
in multiple offensive categories including home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, on-base
plus slugging percentage (.923), walks (84), and finished second in hits (150) and runs
scored. He accounted for three of the Orioles nine walk-off hits last season, including
two walk-off home runs.

Upon his passing, the Orioles and the Oriole Advocates announced the creation of an award to honor the teams top fans,
to be named The Wild Bill Hagy Award. The award will expand the Orioles Hall of Fame categories to include fans who have

WILD BILL HAGY AWARD

On August 20, 2007, the Orioles lost one of their most passionate fans with the passing of William G. Wild Bill Hagy. Leading
cheers from The Roar from 34 at Memorial Stadium, Wild Bill became a Baltimore institution, contorting his body to spell out

Orioles and was inducted into Baseballs Hall of Fame in 2007 in his first year of eligibility.
He is one of only nine players in history with both 400 HR and 3,000 hits, along with
Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Stan Musial, Rafael Palmeiro, Alex Rodriguez,
Dave Winfield, and Carl Yastrzemski. In 2001, his final season, he was elected to his 19th
All-Star Game, breaking the AL record for most times as an All-Star a record previously
held by Brooks Robinson. He earned two All-Star Game MVP Awards (1991 and 2001),
two American League MVP Awards (1983 and 1991), and American League Rookie of the
Year (1982) honors, two Gold Gloves, and eight Silver Slugger awards, all at shortstop.
Ripken was named Most Valuable Oriole four times, twice sharing the award with Eddie
Murray.

ORIOLES

Ripken will be most remembered for topping the said-to-be-unbreakable record for
consecutive games played set by Lou Gehrig, passing Gehrigs mark of 2,130 games on September 6, 1995. Ripken went on to
play in 2,632 consecutive games before sitting on September 20, 1998.
Following the 1999 season, he was named as one of two shortstops (with Ernie Banks) on Major League Baseballs All-Century
Team, selected by fans and an expert panel. Extremely active in community endeavors, he won the Roberto Clemente Award and
the initial Bart Giamatti Caring Award among many other honors.

IN REVIEW

Since his playing career ended in 2001, Ripken has focused his attention on growing the game at the grassroots level. Through
his business, Ripken Baseball, and his familys nonprofit organization, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, he is bringing the game to
kids across the country. Ripken Baseball operates three Ripken Experience complexes in his hometown of Aberdeen, Md., Myrtle
Beach, S.C., and Pigeon Forge, Tenn. The Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation has built over 50 Youth Development Parks, multi-purpose
turf fields, in areas of need across the country. In 2015, Ripken was named Major League Baseball Special Advisor on Youth
Programs and Outreach by Commissioner Robert D. Manfred.

The trade that brought Robinson from Cincinnati to Baltimore turned the Orioles from
contenders to World Champions in 1966. He won the Triple Crown (.316 average, 49
homers, 122 RBI) and was both the American League and World Series MVP in his first
season with the Orioles. In all, the Orioles went to the World Series four times in his six
seasons as a player with them. When he was traded to the Dodgers after the 1971 season,
he became the first to have his number retired by the Orioles.
Robinson was the National League Rookie of the Year with the Reds in 1956 and is the
only player to win MVP honors in both leagues (1961 NL, 1966 AL). He played in 11 All-Star games and was MVP of the 1971
Mid-Summer Classic. While still an active player, he became the first black manager in Major League history with the Cleveland
Indians in 1975. In addition to the Indians (1975-77), he managed the San Francisco Giants (1981-84), the Orioles (1988-89),
and the Montreal ExposWashington Nationals (2002-06).

JIM PALMER22
The greatest pitcher in Orioles history, Jim Palmer won 268 games in a 19-year career,
all of it with Baltimore. He won three Cy Young Awards in a four-year span (1973, 75,
76) and his 2.86 ERA is fourth on the all-time list among pitchers with 3,000 or more
innings pitched.

MANAGER &
COACHES

Palmer won 20 games in a season eight times, one of only six who pitched exclusively in
the 20th century to accomplish the feat. He put that string together in a nine-year stretch,
1970-78, during which he went 176-97 with a 2.54 ERA.

2016
ORIOLES

In 1966, at age 20, he became the youngest pitcher ever to throw a World Series shutout,
and in 1983 he became the only hurler to have won a World Series game in each of three
decades. He was the winning pitcher in the Orioles first four pennant-clinching games
and was 8-3 in 17 postseason appearances. He was a six-time All-Star and was the
American Leagues starting pitcher four times.
Palmer was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in January 1990. He is in his 23th season as an analyst
on Orioles televised games, and has also worked for ABC-TV and ESPN. On January 12, 2012, Palmer was awarded the Player

ORIOLE PARK AT CAMDEN YARDS

2015
IN REVIEW

When Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened on April 6, 1992, a new era of Major League Baseball began. The park was brand
new, but still old-fashioned. State-of-the-art, yet quaint. At less than a day old, it was already a classic.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards inspired a generation of ballpark construction. No longer would communities across America build
multipurpose stadiums devoid of character, surrounded by vast parking lots. Ballparks would now be created to nestle neatly into
existing and historic neighborhoods and play key roles in the revitalization of urban America.

OPPONENTS

Oriole Park at Camden Yards captured the nations attention from day one and in the seasons that followed has served as the
standard by which all new ballparks are measured. Citizens of Baltimore and all of Maryland, as well as Orioles fans throughout
Birdland, should take great pride in the fact that their team makes its home in The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball.
THE HISTORY
Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the beautiful baseball-only facility in downtown Baltimore, became the official home of the Orioles
on April 6, 1992. The construction of the park was completed in essentially 33 months from the time razing previous structures on
the 85-acre parcel began June 28, 1989, in the area known as Camden Yards.

RECORDS &
HISTORY

Working under contract to HOK were the urban design firm of RTKL, the landscape architecture firm of Wallace, Roberts and
Todd, and the engineering firms of Bliss and Nyitray; Rummel, Klepper and Kahl; and Kidde Consultants, Inc. Working under
contract to the Orioles were the interior design firm of Forte Design and the graphic design firm of David Ashton and Associates.
Oriole Park is state-of-the-art, yet unique, traditional, and intimate in design. It blends with the urban context of downtown
Baltimore while taking its image from baseball parks built in the early 20th century. Steel, rather than concrete trusses, an arched
brick facade, a sun roof over the gentle slope of the Upper Deck, an asymmetrical playing field, and natural grass turf are just
some of the features that tie it to those magnificent big league ballparks built in the early 1900s. Ebbets Field (Brooklyn), Shibe
Park (Philadelphia), Fenway Park (Boston), Crosley Field (Cincinnati), Forbes Field (Pittsburgh), Wrigley Field (Chicago), and
The Polo Grounds (New York) were among the ballparks that served as powerful influences in the design of Oriole Park.

(and now seats 45,971), and the project cost was approximately $110 million. It was designed by the Kansas City architectural
firm of Helmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK) with direction and input from the Orioles and the State of Maryland, which owns and
operates the facility through its agency, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA).

BALTIMORES ORIOLE

Americas early colonists noticed a bird whose male bore the black and orange colors of Lord Baltimore, Marylands founder. It
was called a Baltimore oriole until the 1960s, when it was observed to interbreed with a bird called Bullocks oriole. The American
Ornithologists Union declared both would be considered a single species: Northern oriole. But later studies showed that, while
the two birds sometimes interbreed, the offspring rarely pass along their genes. In 1994, the Baltimore oriole recovered its status
as a species.

ORIOLE PARK

Prior to the 2013 season, the Orioles replaced the rubberized warning track that had been in place since Oriole Park opened in
1992, with a natural surface composed of crushed stone. The color of the stone was designed to match the brick that appears
throughout the ballpark and on the Warehouse. Actual samples of those same Williamsport, Md. bricks were used in the final
material to achieve the proper blend. The new surface covers approximately 20,000 square feet and required 300 tons of material.

MANAGER &

THE PLAYING FIELD

The field is 16 feet below street level and is comprised of a sophisticated irrigation and drainage system below natural grass
turf. It is designed to reduce the frequency of rainouts by shortening the length of baseballs most exasperating feature, the rain
delay. The fields system makes it possible to get the field ready for play within a half hour after the end of a heavy rainstorm.
The drainage system automatically removes as much as 75,000 gallons of rainwater from the field in an hour. Following the 2000
season, the ballparks infield and outfield were completely rebuilt, replacing the dirt, sand rootzone mix, sod, and drainage. The
drainage system was modernized by utilizing an inlaid piping system topped by a fabric mesh and gravel to better protect both the
pipes and the playing surface. Following the 2005 season, all new irrigation heads were installed. In 2008, the sod was replaced
with a sand-based blend of Kentucky bluegrass that is genetically darker in color and more durable than the version previously
used at Oriole Park, giving the field a more vibrant green color.

IN REVIEW

The shorter dimension in the right field corner is off-set by a 21-foot high wall, which extends 100 feet from the right field line
toward center. The fence in the rest of the park is only seven feet high.

OPPONENTS

As a result, the ballpark was returned to its original dimensions before the 2002 season. The changes included moving home
plate approximately seven feet closer to the outfield, to its original spot 59 feet from the backstop. In addition, the entire field was
shifted several degrees to the first base side and both the left field and right field foul poles were repositioned to their original
locations. The foul line measurements decreased from 320 feet to 318 feet in right field and from 337 to 333 feet in left field. The
center field distance decreased from 406 to 400 feet and the deepest part of the ballpark, in left center field, decreased from
417 to 410 feet.

REACH

DIMENSIONS

For Oriole Parks first nine seasons, outfield dimensions were 333 feet to left field, 364 feet to left center, 400 feet to center, 373
feet to right center and 318 feet to right field. Prior to the 2001 season, in conjunction with extensive renovations to the ballparks
playing surface and drainage system, the Orioles reconfigured the ballpark with outfield dimensions that were up to seven feet
larger than those used since Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992. However, it was found that the new dimensions did
not significantly improve sight lines for fans, as had been anticipated, and adversely affected the viewing angle of the batters
eye wall.

Small circular plaques are found in the concrete along Eutaw Street, marking the locations where home runs have landed since
the ballpark opened. Through the 2015 season, 54 different players have hit 82 home runs that have landed on Eutaw Street
(34 by the Orioles and 48 by visiting players). Three home runs landed on the Eutaw Street corridor in 2015. A record 11 homers
landed on the corridor in 2013, breaking the previous mark of nine set in 2012. Chris Davis eight Eutaw Street home runs are the
most by any player in Oriole Park history.

Located beyond right field, the B&O Warehouse is 439 feet from home plate. Built between 1898-1905, the Warehouse is the
longest building on the East Coast at 1,016 feet (but only 51 feet wide). It has been preserved and now provides unique office
space for the Orioles as well as home for the banquet facilities, the ballparks central kitchen, and space for ballpark operations.
The Orioles main ticket office operates out of the north end of the Warehouse. Dempseys Brew Pub and Restaurant is located

FOUL POLES

When the Orioles moved to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the 1992 season, the right field foul pole that had been used for 37
seasons at Memorial Stadium was brought with. The foul pole was affixed atop the tall wall in right field in the Flag Court. Prior
to the 2001 season, the Orioles replaced the original Oriole Park left field foul pole with the left field pole that had been used
throughout their stay at Memorial Stadium. At 70 feet high, the new/old foul pole is 20 feet shorter than the previously used pole
and requires a more modest support structure, which allows more fans in seats in the Lower, Club, and Upper Deck levels to have
an unobstructed view of the field. The foul poles were returned to their original positions when the ballpark was reconfigured to

On Veterans Day 2002, ground was broken at the south end of the Eutaw

razed at Memorial Stadium. The 11-foot-tall, curving black granite wall
features the well-known phrase from the Memorial Stadium facade, spelled
out in the original stainless steel lettering: Time Will Not Dim the Glory of
Their Deeds. In other links to the old stadium, an urn from East 33rd Street
containing soil from all foreign American military cemeteries is displayed
under glass, and a plaque explains the significance of Memorial Stadium in

ACCESSIBILITY/PARKING

Oriole Park is easily reached via rail, bus, and subway lines, as well as four major highways (I-95, I-83, I-70, and the BaltimoreWashington Parkway). The MARC train and light rail trains both have stops directly on site. About 4,000 parking spaces are
located south of the park and numerous spaces are located in areas within walking distance of the ballpark.

SEATING

After the 2010 season, the Maryland Stadium Authority completed the final phase of the replacement of the seats in the Oriole
Park seating bowl as part of their deferred maintenance program. After the 2009 season, all seats in the lower level from foul pole
to foul pole were replaced, along with necessary repairs to the concrete in this area.The work concluded in the winter of 20102011, as MSA repaired concrete and replaced seats in the lower level outfield, the Club Level, and the Upper Deck.

MINOR
LEAGUES

At the request of the Orioles, the Club Level and Upper Deck at Camden Yards were furnished with wider seats that are more
comfortable for fans. Sightlines for fans on both of those levels were improved with the installation of new, less intrusive railings
to enhance the view of those sitting in the first few rows, as well as fans sitting in and around Upper Deck equal access and
companion seats.
Other ballpark improvements made prior to the 2011 season included the installation of drink rails in portions of the Club Level
seating bowl down the left field line, as well as the addition of bistro tables facing the field on the left field Club Level and the
creation of the Miller Lite Flite Deck in the corner of the right field Club Level. All of the new locations provide a unique, more social
experience for fans and are ideal for individuals as well as small and large groups.

area.
2016 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE

Phase two of the ballpark improvements were completed prior to the 2009 season and included major control room upgrades,
new HD televisions throughout the ballpark, and improvements in the coverage and quality of the ballpark sound system. The
ballpark entertainment control room replacement allows the entertainment system to transmit a high-definition (HD) signal to the
main and auxiliary video boards and further enhance the fan experience at Oriole Park.
The 2009 sound system renovations included 530 new speakers in all, replacing those that had been in place since Oriole
Park opened. To improve coverage and consistency of sound throughout the seating area, a number of additional loudspeaker
positions were created. New speakers are located in the Upper and Lower Deck seating bowl, Club Level, Main Concourse,
center field bleacher area, and scoreboard. The new system employs digital signal processing (DSP) that is significantly more
advanced than what was previously used and allows a much greater level of control. The result is a substantially more uniform
listening experience throughout the seating area.

20TH ANNIVERSARY IMPROVEMENTS AND UPGRADES

As part of a continued commitment to honor the proud history of the franchise, and in conjunction with efforts to improve the
design aesthetic and functionality of the ballpark, in 2012 the Orioles enhanced the fan experience at Oriole Park at Camden
Yards. The improvements and additions, highlighted by a newly renovated area to honor the greatest Orioles of all time inside the
gates of the ballpark, were done to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Oriole Park.
Larger than life sculptures of the six Orioles who have their numbers retired and are National Baseball Hall of Fame members
Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken, Jr., and Brooks Robinson were unveiled during the
2012 season. The bronze sculptures created by renowned Maryland sculptor Antonio Tobias Toby Mendez, are located in an
improved bullpen picnic grove, which received significant upgrades and additional landscaping. As with the Orioles Hall of Fame
plaques on Eutaw Street, this area was renovated to allow fans access during non-gameday hours.
Along with the installation of the sculptures, the Orioles also completed additional upgrades to the Upper Deck, Main Concourse,
Eutaw Street, and Flag Court at Oriole Park for the 2012 season.
Also in 2012, the outfield areas of Eutaw Street and the bullpen picnic grove in center field underwent a major overhaul featuring
the following changes in addition to the six new sculptures:
The Roof Deck, a new outfield overlook on top of the batters eye wall in center field, featuring casual seating,
a bar, and deck seating - this area was previously inaccessible to fans
New entry concessions at the north end of Eutaw Street
As a part of MSAs restoration of the B&O Warehouse brick work, a replica of the original canopy was added
to the Warehouse to shelter portable concessions and additional seating, as well as fans on Eutaw Street
searching for shade or to escape inclement weather

-Prior to 2010, all rows in the ballpark were switched from letters to numbers, to more clearly designate the number of rows
from the field or the front of the Club and Upper Deck Levels.
-The Home Plate Plaza Lobby, Home Plate Lounge, and Upper and Lower Press Levels were renovated during the 2009
offseason.
-Within the past eight years, the entire ballpark entertainment system, including the audio, video, and scoreboards, were

enjoyable experience for those using party facilities and Club Level ticket holders who use this entrance to the ballpark.
-Included in the improvements made during the 1999 season, the ticket reader system used at the turnstiles was upgraded. The
ticket entrances were enlarged and the reader system itself was expanded to allow more types of tickets to be fed through the
turnstile readers, providing fans a smoother, quicker entry to the ballpark.
-In a project that began in early 1999, the Orioles offices located in the B&O Warehouse underwent major renovations in order
to give the offices a warmer look. In addition to redesigned office space, new artwork and artifacts are displayed in the lobby

ATTENDANCE MILESTONES: The Orioles celebrated two attendance milestones in 2008. The first came on August 19, 2008, as
the Os welcomed their 50 millionth fan at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Opened in 1992, Oriole Park was the quickest ballpark
to achieve the 50 million fan milestone in the history of baseball. In its first 17 seasons, Oriole Park at Camden Yards hosted the
third-most fans in baseball, trailing only Dodger Stadium and Yankee Stadium.

MANAGER &
COACHES

Less than a week later, on August 23, 2008, the 100 millionth fan in franchise history entered the gates at Oriole Park at Camden
Yards. In 62 seasons and 4,609 regular season dates between Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards, 114,976,887 fans have
watched the Orioles play in Baltimore.
The Orioles have drawn a total of 65,131,299 fans in 1,893 dates in 24 seasons at Oriole Park, surpassing the total attendance
they drew from 1954 through 1991 at Memorial Stadium. In 38 seasons at the old ballpark on 33rd Street, the club drew 49,845,588
in 2,716 dates, an average of 18,353 fans per game. The Birds have averaged 34,406 fans per game in 1,893 dates at Oriole
Park.

nine sellouts in 2015 and has now drawn 40,000 or more fans on 832 of 1,893 dates at Oriole Park.
LARGEST 3-DATE CROWD: The August 10-12, 2007 series against the Boston Red Sox shattered the attendance record for

and OriolesREACH initiatives through the Sarasota 365 program, demonstrating that the clubs commitment to its southern home
goes far beyond baseball.
ORIOLES IN SARASOTA FAST FACTS

in-kind contributions to the community.

The Orioles drew a record-breaking average of 7,484 attendees per game during the 2015 Spring Training season, a
99 percent stadium capacity.
