The Baltimore Orioles are a Major League Baseball team that plays in the American League East division. Formerly the St. Louis Browns, the franchise was sold and moved to Baltimore for the 1954 season. Playing at Memorial Stadium, the team had six straight losing seasons until an 89-65 campaign in 1960. But winning baseball followed -- from 1961 through 1968, the O's, the name used many fans, had six winning seasons, and swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the 1966 World Series. Earl Weaver replaced Hank Bauer as manager during the '68 season, ushering in an era that saw the Orioles finish over .500 for 18 straight seasons (1968-1985), including seven trips to the playoffs and two more World Series championships (1970 and 1983). The Orioles failed to reach the postseason from 1984 through 1995, but returned to the playoffs in 1996 as a wild card team, and again in 1997, when they won the AL East title. The Orioles christened a new facility in 1992, moving to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, a baseball-only ballpark located in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor. Since 1997, the Orioles have had five different managers and struggled through 10 straight losing seasons. The Orioles have won three World Series titles, six AL pennants and have appeared in the postseason 10 times. The team has had five 100-win seasons, all under Weaver. Orioles have won the AL MVP Award in five different seasons and the Cy Young Award six times. Hall of Fame Orioles include Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr. and Weaver, among others.
