As a major league baseball franchise, there’s hardly a more storied and venerable team in the American League than the Baltimore Orioles. Playing their home games out of Oriole Park at Camden Yards – where they moved from old Memorial Stadium in 1992 – the ballclub is a charter member of the junior league. Named after the state bird of Maryland, the Orioles have played dominating baseball through much of their history, winning a number of World Series championships, romping through their division for many years. A ton of Baltimore Orioles tickets have also been sold over the decades.

Establishing itself as the original Milwaukee Brewers in that town back in 1901, the team stayed for a single season before picking up stakes and heading to Saint Louis and becoming the Browns. Sales of Baltimore Orioles tickets, though, would have to wait for more than a few decades.

The Gateway City proved to be a more welcoming climate and the ball team hung around for 52 years before moving for good to Baltimore in 1954. Sales of Baltimore Orioles tickets proved to be strong right off the bat, partly due to a familiarity on the part of fans who’d supported past minor league teams bearing the same name in the past.

The old St. Louis Browns – under the colorful and sometimes chaotic ownership of the legendary Bill Veeck – had always done well at the box office though on-field performance lagged. The new-look team (including new ownership) worked hard to ensure sales of Baltimore Orioles tickets would be strong. The club took part in a massive 17 player trade that signaled that intent, moving most of the old Browns players to the rival New York Yankees.

The remainder of the team’s first decade in Baltimore would mark a steady progress in performance, with the team doing what it took to put a quality product on field as it worked to sell Baltimore Orioles tickets. Both efforts would eventually pay off handsomely as future star players like Boog Powell, Milt Pappas, Dave MacNally and the incomparable Brooks Robinson became emblems of the team’s greatest successes.

The first half of the 1960s would mark the Orioles as a contender every year. All-league shortstop Luis Aparicio would join the team during that run, and it all came together in 1966 for the Birds as former NL MVP and future Hall of Famer Frank Robinson would make the move to Baltimore (he’d win AL MVP and Triple Crown honors that season), propelling the O’s to their first league championship and a historic World Series sweep of the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers. Sales of Baltimore Orioles tickets were sky high.

The glory days of Orioles baseball soon ensued, and the period from 1966 to 1983 is widely acknowledged by baseball experts to be the Age of the Orioles under the field generalship of the legendary manager Earl Weaver. With sterling drafts (at one time, the club boasted four twenty-game winning pitchers in the rotation), there seemed to be no end to success. Baltimore Orioles tickets were hot, and fans paid well to see the likes of Jim Palmer and the awesome Eddie Murray.

In 1982, soon-to-be superstar shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. would join the club, and the O’s won their third World Series championship title in 1983, under new manager Joe Altobelli. The rest of the decade would prove to be a trial except for ’89, when the club would contend for a division title all the way through September. Baltimore Orioles tickets would sell well.

Rikpken would go on in 1995 to break the consecutive games record of Lou Gehrig and the club would make it to postseason play for several years thereafter. The years since has seen strong results at times under players like Miguel Tejada and Mike Mussina. The 2009 season would mark flashes of brilliance, including a comeback of titanic proportions in one game. The team worked hard all year to play well and would try to sell Baltimore Orioles tickets.
