POLL: Greatest Oriole of all time?

[redsrbetter]

Who is the best Oriole of all time?

With so many talented players to dawn the orange and black. Who is the best?

Eddie Murray- 504 HRs, broke the 3,000 hit plateau, switch hitting 1B.

Cal Ripken Jr.- "Ironman", SS ahead of his time.

Brooks Robinson- Great defense

Frank Robinson- Tough player led the O's to many WS chances

Miguel Tejada- One of the best SS in the league

Roberto Alomar- played with O's for two seasons, but was on top of his game

Jim Palmer- 3 Cy Youngs and 8 20 win seasons

Mike Mussina- Smart pitcher went 147-81 as an Oriole

Erik Bedard- Dominating left hander. Regularly facing the toughest of opponents doesn't scare him

Other- Explain

Without a Doubt!!!! Cal Ripken, Jr!!!!

[redsrbetter]

Yep I agree it is Cal. I mean, he isn't just the face of the O's, but he is one of the breatest ambassadors of the game ever. Period.


I still remember watching him break theironman record. What a thrill!

Brady Anderson













































































Just kidding

Ripken without a doubt.

Oh GF83, you are a funny, funny man!!! hahahaha..

[redsrbetter]

I was just about to get on here and scold you man. Then I scrolled down. Anyhow, Brady was good that one year...

Yeah, he hit 50 HR's that one time. But many say he cheated. Not to get this into a steroid debate though. I would much rather talk about the O's. So leave that alone...

[brewersfan19]

ok, I do that redsrbetter. No steroid talk coming from me.

Jay Gibbons.

[brewersfan19]

browntown you are a funny, funny man too!!!! I like it. I am a little slow today with the quick humored comebacks.

[redsrbetter]

Danget brownie, you are making it very hard on me to get away from roid freaks.

[DravenX]

Cal is the best Oriole. No one can come close to him no matter what position.

[redsrbetter]

We have a differing vote! Frank Robinson...

Whoever voted for him, please step forward and stake your claim.

[brewersfan19]

It was not me, but I can understand why someone may choose him though.

[DirtyKash]

If you look at his overall career, Frank Robinson was better; but he only played six seasons in Baltimore, so if you're looking for the greatest Oriole of all-time, then it should stand to reason that you only look at what Frank Robinson did when he was in Baltimore. Granted, he was great when he was there (MVP!), but again, it was only six seasons.

I voted for Frank Robinson because of his triple crown and leading the team to several league championships. The teams he played on were better than those Cal played on, and he was a big reason why.
