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.
