Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles, known as the “O’s” or “Birds,” are a historic MLB team based in Baltimore, competing in the American League East. Originally founded as the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901, they quickly became the St. Louis Browns before relocating to Baltimore in 1954. Known for their rich history and connection to Maryland’s state bird, the oriole, they play at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, renowned for its classic ballpark charm.
