Who is the best player in Baltimore Orioles history?
In this series, I attempt to name who is the best player in each MLB franchise’s history. Today’s team is the Baltimore Orioles. #mlb #orioles #calripkenjr

Cal Ripken, Gunnar Henderson (37 home runs in second season means Future Star) and Frank Robinson.
I have to agree with Ripken. Jim Palmer is their greatest pitcher, but can't leave off Iron Man! Brooksie played forever, won all the Gold Gloves, but just wasn't that good with the bat, despite his lone MVP season. I don't get how Ripken got less than 100% of the votes….. Many players actually. After Ripken and Brooks (2,896 games with the O's), their #3 all time is Mark Belanger with only 1,962.
