| The year was 1903. It was
the beginning of a baseball dynasty in Baltimore, Maryland, and for the
next 50 years it would set the stage for the coming of Major League
sports to the most enthusiastic and fan-rich city in America.
Some of the greatest players that ever suited-up were on the rosters of the International League Orioles (ILO) during this formative era in professional baseball. They had championship teams in 1908, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925 and 1944. Players included such names as Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Sherman Lollar, Eddie Robinson, Fritz Maisel, Bob Lemon, Max Bishop, Jimmy Lyston, Jack Dunn, Tommy Thomas, Mike Kardash, Gene Corbett, Cliff Melton, Arthur Egan, Howie Moss, Bucky Crouse and many, many more.
