Product Description:
The history of the Baltimore Orioles is filled with amazing achievements, inspiring efforts, hilarious antics, and some bitter disappointments. The Orioles Encyclopedia traces the history, triumphs, and follies of the team from 1954 to the present.
Think you know everything about the Orioles? Test your knowledge with this exhaustive guide. The Encyclopedia includes nearly 400 player profiles from Bobo to Zupo, the results of every game since 1954, and short features on managers and coaches. Browse through the seasons chronologically or by the players alphabetically. This comprehensive information is brought to life with more than 350 rarely seen photographs -- including 26 color plates -- from the Baseball Hall of Fame and the old Baltimore News-American, along with classic photos from the pages of Sport magazine and Sports Illustrated.
The Orioles Encyclopedia recounts the colorful history of this storied and beleaguered program. Perhaps some of the tales and memories found in these pages will inspire a conversation between a father and son, grandfather and granddaughter, boyfriend and girlfriend, old fan and new. With a foreword by Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, The Orioles Encyclopedia is the ultimate companion for any baseball fan who wears orange and black.

Yes this book in very detailed. So detailed in fact that according to the all time roster, Tejada is still on the team among others who havent wore the orange and black in years. ( as denoted by the year they joined followed by just a - ) Now that must have been some trade that the team had both Tejada and Luke Scott on the team at the same time. Also, this book is filled with typos. Under Roberto Alomar's section it mentions that the team made the playoffs in '95....Reagan and Doug Jones could ... Read More

This author doesn't skimp on solid information and it is presented beautifully. The love of the game is apparent. Interspersed among the statistics and the rare and wonderful photographs are delightful recollections and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the magical world of baseball. This book is a treat for both the Orioles fan and the curious reader.

My husband received this book as a gift, and I will tell you, if one needs to locate him, he can usually be found, (lately) seated on the sofa in our living room, poring over the contents of this beautiful book, which he tells me is also beautifully written and VERY comprehensive.
As a youngster, he was a devoted Os fan, and is delighting in reliving Orioles history, just as he remembers it.

This book offers so much for any true fan of the grand old game. It is the go-to guide for Baltimore Orioles fans, both young and old. The book not only offers statistics, player bios, and manager information - but it also elaborates on the Orioles impact on the greater Baltimore community. What I love about the book is all the quirky facts that they pack in the 800+ pages, which makes reading this quite fun! Johns Hopkins has again published a gem!
