Classic Photos of the Baltimore Orioles

Sports Illustrated: “This season marks the 15-year anniversary of the last time the Orioles finished with a winning record (1997, 98-64). As the 2012 season passes the quarter-mark, Baltimore remains in first place in the AL East.

In honor of the franchise’s revival, SI presents this collection of classic Baltimore Orioles photos.”


Brooks Robinson, Dave McNally and Andy Etchebarren, 1966


Earl Weaver and Don Stanhouse, 1979. (Note the Schlitz beer in the locker room!)


Frank Robinson and Davey Johnson, 1969
