Top 10 Orioles Players

The Orioles are a talented team both offensively and defensively. Throughout the team's existence, they've won 3 world series, 2 wild card berths, 9 AL East Division Titles, and 7 AL Pennants. But who contributed the most to the team's success during those years? I've compiled a list of the 10 greatest Orioles players of all time for your enjoyment. Hope you like it! These will also just be players, not including managers or coaches.

                                                                  10. Rick Dempsey

 Kicking off our list is Rick Dempsey. I think Dempsey is the best announcer for the O's. He has two world series under his belt,
                                                                 9. Brady Anderson

Brady Anderson was a three-time allstar and held the record for most home runs in a season with the O's until Chris Davis surpassed him in 2013.
                                                                  8. Brian Roberts 



B-rob really led the O's through their darker, tragic years, and like Mussina, betrayed the O's for the Yanks.
                                                                    7. Boog Powell

     Boog celebrated with the O's in two world series. I had the chance to meet him at Camden Yards.

                                                                 6. Frank Robinson 
                  This 14-time all star and hall of famer is worthy of having the number 6 spot on this list.
                                                         
                                                                   5. Mike Mussina 
Mike "The Moose" Mussina had 7 Gold Gloves in his career. It's really too bad that he betrayed the O's for the Yankees.

                                                                   4. Eddie Murray

                   The great hall of famer "Steady" Eddie finished his career with a .287 BA and 504 HR.

                                                             3. Brooks Robinson
                                                                      
Brooks Robinson was without a doubt, the best third baseman of all time. You can't have a dream team without him. His skill and athleticism was unmatched. Did you know he had 18 all-star game appearances?

                                                                   

                                                                     2. Jim Palmer 


Jim Palmer is one of my favorite players and announcers for the Orioles. He had the most wins as an Oriole, but also the most losses, with a career record of 268-152. That doesn't make him any less astonishing, though. He was an amazing player who led the Orioles to many of their great triumphs.
                                                                   

                                                                    1. Cal Ripken Jr.
                                   The obvious winner of this list is the iron man. Who else?
