From 1903 to 1911, the Orioles were one of the leading powers of the Eastern League.They were a charter member of the International League, winning seven consecutive pennants beginning in 1919 under the guidance of Jack Dunn. It was also Dunn who gave local boy George Herman Ruth his start in professional baseball. Rogers Hornsby managed the club in 1938.
