The wait is over, although it wasn't a long one: Jackson Holliday has cracked the the Majors. On April 10, the Orioles called up the elite prospect from Triple-A to make a highly anticipated MLB debut that resulted in a 7-5 win at Fenway Park. Just 20 years old, the

BALTIMORE -- With the likes of Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson already having cracked the Majors, along with 2022 No. 1 overall pick Jackson Holliday recently having done the same, the youth movement in Baltimore is fully underway. After the Orioles turned heads by surging to a 101-win season in

It’s difficult to make a better first impression than the one Frank Robinson made for the Orioles, who were looking for a difference-maker in the winter of 1965 to catapult their emerging team to the next level. What they got was an icon, a singular figure who would go on

Each year, the MLB Draft provides teams the opportunity to restock their farm systems, look to the future and find their next homegrown star. That’s occurred quite a few times for the Orioles, whose best Draft picks have gone on to become some of the game’s all-time greats. Not all

The lanky build, the graceful delivery featuring full arm extension, the regular-season consistency and the postseason toughness. Jim Palmer owned seemingly every gift a pitcher could possess, which might explain why he won more games in the 1970s (186) than any Major Leaguer. He notched at least 20 wins in

Before Mike Schmidt, Adrián Beltré and Nolan Arenado, there was Brooks Robinson. The man who became known as the “Human Vacuum Cleaner,” Robinson played third base like a maestro. And he did it year after year, for more than two decades spent entirely in Baltimore. Still rightfully regarded as one

Before Cal Ripken Jr. towered over Baltimore’s baseball landscape, there was Brooks Robinson. Robinson established the template for what a franchise icon -- not just Baltimore’s, but any city’s -- should be. He spanned generations by spending all of his 23 big league seasons (1955-77) with the Orioles. That’s the

From Sept. 15-Oct. 15, MLB.com is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting stories that pay tribute to some of the most significant and talented players from Latin America in the game's history. ---

When Lee Smith called it a career after the 1997 season, there was no closer more fruitful in baseball history. He held the record in career saves, with 478. He acquired at least 30 saves 10 times and 40 saves three times, leading the NL four times (and the Majors

BALTIMORE -- With Adley Rutschman now in the Majors, the Orioles hope they are getting their first big league look at their next homegrown star. They are a franchise well-versed with that type of player, able to sport five Hall of Famers and many other club legends who spent the

Do you remember Izzy Molina? Nobody would blame you if you didn't. A journeyman Minor League catcher for most of his career, Molina was 31 when he squatted behind the plate for the Orioles on May 6, 2002. None of his previous 68 big league games had come with the

When many people think of orioles, a group of New World birds in the blackbird family, one of the first associations they make is baseball. The next is probably Baltimore. Put together, the city and brilliant orange-and-black bird have been linked for centuries, long before the baseball Orioles moved east

Over the first half of their nearly seven-decade history, the Orioles came to be known more for their pitching prowess than their position players. They had six American League Cy Young Award winners from 1969-1980, including four in a six-year stretch to close out that decade. So it makes sense

From the day it opened in 1992, Baltimore’s crown jewel of a ballpark set a new standard. In the years since, it’s hosted some of baseball's most unforgettable moments. Here are the 10 best in the history of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which remains one of the most iconic,

Over the years, some of baseball’s greatest players have called Baltimore home. That’s led to some incredible individual performances, stretched out over 162-game increments. It’s really a beautiful thing -- watching an elite player clicking on all cylinders for a full summer. Orioles fans have seen it more than a

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles have been quick to identify franchise-changing talent. And the six numbers they've retired reflect that, as the O's deserve some credit for putting these uniforms on ice at Camden Yards. Yes, being a surefire Hall of Famer is a tall task, but these half-dozen numbers (along

Who wore it best? Uniforms have always been a reason we love baseball, with the numbers on the back, specifically, always serving as a way to connect with the players wearing them. Whether they’re randomly assigned or strategically acquired, numbers can become intrinsically tied to a player’s identity, sometimes as
