Orange vs. Black: An Orioles diversion

Are these Baltimore’s greatest for every jersey number?

A little thought experiment cross-posted to Camden Chat and Facebook:

Here are two all-time 40-man rosters of Baltimore Orioles, with no repeated jersey numbers.

  • Players got the jersey number they wore for the largest share of their O’s appearances.
  • Palmeiro’s included because I’m soft on PEDs. Picture Don Buford instead if you want ig.
  • Alomar is excluded because he’s banned from MLB and I’m not soft on the reasons why.

So: do you figure I brought everyone who belongs? Who should be here instead?

And: who are you taking, Mike Mussina’s Black side or Jim Palmer’s Orange squad?

Check ’em out on Google Sheets if that’s convenient for you.
