Lecture: “19^th Century Baseball and the ‘Original’ Baltimore Orioles”  – Mike Gibbons, Director Emeritus & Historian for the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum

The Baltimore Orioles were a 19th century American Association and National League team from 1882 to 1899. This storied club, which featured numerous future Hall of Famers, won three consecutive National League pennants in the mid-1890s, but were contracted out of the league after the 1899 season.
