the franchise moved to Baltimore from st. Louis in 1954,they were the browns

The Baltimore Orioles started their baseball in life in 1901 as the Milwaukee Brewers. They moved to St. Louis in 1902 and played there as the Browns until 1953. In 1954 they moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

There have been four separate iterations of the Baltimore Orioles.The original Baltimore Orioles were one of the first National League teams, founded in the 1870s. They were a very good team, with such great players as John McGraw and Wee Willie Keeler, and are remembered for two things: first, they had a reputation as very rough, dirty players, and second, they were innovative; they're generally credited with inventing the bunt and the hit-and-run play, as well as the old "Baltimore chop", where a hitter with speed but no power swings down at the ball, hoping to make it hit the ground in front of the plate and bounce high enough that he can make it to first base before it comes down. (This was the only way I could get on base in high school. ;) The original Orioles dissolved when the National League had money troubles and contracted from twelve teams to eight in the 1890s.The second Baltimore Orioles were founded in 1901 as one of the charter members of the American League. (There was no connection to Milwaukee, as incorrectly stated above.) The second Orioles featured several of the stars of the first team, and were managed by John McGraw. But McGraw jumped ship to the National League and became manager of the New York Giants. He took most of his good players with him, so the Orioles were pretty bad for a while. In 1903 the president of the American League moved the Orioles to New York, where they were renamed the New Yotk Highlanders, and they still play there as the New York Yankees.The third Baltimore Orioles were a Class D minor league team, probably the best minor league team ever, founded by Jack Dunn around 1910. Dunn's Orioles were a juggernaut, always winning the minor-league championship, and producing such major league stars as Babe Ruth and Lefty Grove. They faded away when the minor league teams all got swallowed up into the major league farm system, a movement started by Cardinals manager Branch Rickey in the thirties.In the early fifties, when Bill Veeck was the owner of the hapless St. Louis Browns, the only original AL team that never won the Series, he decided to revitalize the team by selling its ballpark to the Cardinals and leaving town. He lost financial control of the team before he could actually do it, but it happened anyway, and in 1954 the Browns moved to Maryland and became the Baltimore Orioles (Mark IV.)

Are you sure there was no connection to the 1901 Milwaukee Brewers? I am pretty sure that they both existed and became the 1902 St Louis Browns.

Actually, both answers are correct. The 1901-02 Baltimore Orioles did not have a connection to Milwaukee or the St. Louis Browns. However, that franchise was basically dissolved after the 1902 season and a new American League team placed in New York (the Highlanders, who would eventually evolve into the Yankees).

The Milwaukee Brewers were a charter franchise in the American League in 1901 that moved to St. Louis and became the Browns in 1902. Then in 1954, the franchise was moved to Baltimore and renamed the Orioles.

So, yes, the current Orioles do indeed have a connection to the lost, but apparently not forgotten, 1901 Milwaukee Brewers.

The New York Yankees with 47.

through all the years of baseball and i have played baseball myself the great whit ford has the most with 10 world series wins and 4 of them were shut outs and he had 3 no hitters he is by far the best pitcher in the game of baseball

Whitey did have the most world series wins but he did not pitch any no hitters in the

regular season or world series.

the question is somewhat vague (teams are eliminated during the contest, it would seem, and what year are you talking about?), but it would seem that eight teams begin the series.

The championship of baseball is called the World Series. Since 1903, the winners of the National League and American League play each other in the championship to determine who is the best team in the league.

Babe Ruth was called the great bambino.

Yes.

A "pitch" is the throw of a baseball from the pitcher to the catcher, usually with the intent of avoiding having the ball hit by the batter (who is of the opposing team). The batter stands to either side of home plate, bearing a bat (an elongated stick of wood or aluminum). The batter will try to hit the ball into the field of play when it is thrown toward him by the pitcher. If he does not try to hit it, or misses, the ball will be caught by the catcher. Depending on whether the ball passes through a specified area ("the strike zone"), the batter will be ruled with either a "strike" (he could have hit it) or a "ball" (it was outside the zone and unlikely to be hit).

not even 5% hardly any one, off of a high school team, maybe 2 will make any type of college baseball

You are right. Not very many go to D1. Its about 1/2 of 1% of high school players.

There are around 235,000 HS players and only about 1,400 D1 freshman slots each year. If you include DII, DIII, NAIA and JUCO, there are about 6,800 college freshman baseball opportunities.

When you throw the baseball, twist your wrist and you will notice it go down.

Harold Reynolds primarily played Major League Baseball for the Seattle Mariners from 1983 to 1992. His final two years in the Major League he played for the Baltimore Orioles and lastly the California Angels.

yes. any cleat used in sports played on grass (football, soccer, field hockey,etc) can be interchanged

because it forces a player to have their fingers tucked in, almost like a fist. this way, in the event of sliding head first into a base, they can catch the base with their palms and reduce risk of injuring their fingers/hands.

My record softball throw was 106 yds with a 7 oz. ball or 96.92 meters with a 198 gm ball. I have not heard of a longer throw though this is not a mainstream sport. This was documented at a school competition.

Well my father Jesse mcarthur threw a softball 107 yards his sophmore year in highschool. he has the record at monterey highschool in lubbock Texas. he is 62 and the record is still there. can you believe he did this in pe class. why he didnt play baseball is a mystery to me. i have a really good arm but i have never been tested on a distance.

The following catchers had recorded stats for the 2007 Cubs season. Geovany Soto had 18 games; Jake Fox had 7 games; Henry Blanco had 22 games; Jason Kendall had 57 games; Rob Bowen had 10 games; Koyie Hill had 36 games with stats recorded. This does not reflect players who may have been on the roster, but never played.
