Baltimore Orioles


Overview

The Baltimore Orioles, affectionately called the "O's" and the "Birds" by their fans, are a Major League Baseball team based in Baltimore, Maryland. Owned by attorney Peter Angelos, they compete in the American League's Eastern Division.

History

The Orioles' origins trace back to 1893 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where they began as part of the minor Western League. This league evolved into the major American League in the early 20th century. The original Baltimore Orioles, members of the National League, eventually relocated to New York and became the Yankees. After a period as the St. Louis Browns, the team moved to Baltimore in the early 1950s and became the present-day Orioles.

Traditions and Culture

A beloved tradition at Orioles games, dating back to the 1970s, involves accentuating the letter "O" in the national anthem's line "Oh, say does that." Fans shout "O!" loudly, a nod to the distinctive Baltimore accent. While some view this as disrespectful, Baltimore residents argue the anthem's origins in their harbor during the War of 1812 give them the right to their unique rendition.

This tradition has spread to other local sporting events, like those of the Maryland Terrapins and the Baltimore Ravens, and even at Washington Redskins games. Some schools have attempted to ban the chant during the anthem, but to little effect.

Controversy

The "O" chant sparked controversy in 2005 when fans started chanting at Washington Nationals games in RFK Stadium. Many considered it inappropriate there, despite the shared fanbase between Washington and Baltimore. The chant faded as summer progressed but remains a memorable aspect of the Orioles' fan culture.
