The Orioles began their stay in Baltimore in 1954. Previous to this, they were the St. Louis Browns (and for a little while previous to that they were the original Milwaukee Brewers).
Although the team lost a hundred games that year, they made a move that would in the end help the club to become one of the greatest clubs in the sport — they signed up Paul Richards as managergeneral manager. Richards helped to instill sound baseball fundamentals in the organization from top to bottom. These fundamentals would soon take root and produce championship caliber teams for years into the future.
But these championships would not come immediately. It required another three seasons for the organization to reach the .500 mark. Soon, however, the team was filled with high-caliber young players. It would only take a small amount of experience for the club to come together.
A fundamental factor of the club coming together was the hiring of Lee MacPhail. MacPhail helped to steady the club’s scouting staff — another prompt that would serve the Orioles well in years to come.
Although Richards was an essential element in getting the team off the ground, he left the Orioles in 1961 before they saw great success. He took a position as general manager for the Colt 45s in Houston.
In 1964 http://www.juventussoccerclubshop.com/c-26-emil-audero-juventus-fc-jersey.aspx , future Orioles star, third baseman Brooks Robinson, had a proficient season. Always a defensive whiz, Robinson showed up strong on the offensive side and won the MVP, and the Orioles competed for the coveted American League pennant in a three-way race with the White Sox and the Yankees.
