Baseball in Maryland has been a big part of our history, and with the Orioles, it has been more than just a sport. From supporting school systems to having big-time players volunteer with small local organizations, the Baltimore Orioles have been part of our community. The Orioles started off in 1894 as a minor league team called the Brewers, based in Milwakee, Wisconsin. Later, the team, now named the Browns, moved to St. Louis in 1954. The team moved to Baltimore and became the Baltiore Orioles. They went on to win the World Series in 1966, 1970, and 1983 .

My family encouraged me to play baseball and has taught me many things about this sport. Base all can be used as a way to stay out of trouble and as a w y to st y occupied. This sport kept me from staying in the house all day and helped me stay occupied and active. The thing that struck me the most about the Orioles when I was younger was their involvem nt in the community nd their willingness to help those in need. The Oriol s hosted many ev nts and activities for th ki s in Baltimore to encourage children to play the sport. I remember when I used to go to a Baltimore City summer camp to play bas ball. Each student in ach camp was provided with a free ticket to an Orioles game. I also remember going to a Balti ore City summer baseball camp to get together where campers had the chance to meet the all-star baseball player Manny Machado.
