The greatest pitcher (in our eyes) when the franchise was located in St. Louis, is Urban Shocker, who also owns one of the best names in baseball.

Best known for his sideburns and that inexplicable (actually, many think they can explain it) 50 Home Run Season in 1996, Brady Anderson played 14 seasons for the Orioles.

The Baltimore Orioles of the 1960s and 1970s were loaded with defensive talent, and while Brooks Robinson may have received the most attention, Mark Belanger could match him play for play.

At the time of the infamous steroids trial, Rafael Palmeiro seemed to come off so good.  Of course when you are sitting next to a man who suddenly suffered from amnesia (Mark McGwire), a man who suddenly forgot the English language (Sammy Sosa), and the man who broke the “bro code” (Jose Canseco) a defiant and confident-sounding Rafael Palmeiro could not help but look good.  A few months later, Palmeiro was suspended by Major League Baseball for testing positive for steroids.

History has given the pitching staff much of the credit for the World Series Runs of the Baltimore Orioles in 1966 and 1970, but it was the heavy-hitting Boog Powell who was the favorite of the fans in Maryland.
