Hey everybody.
Just wanted to know everybody's opinion of who their favorite Oriole of all time is. For me it is easily Cal Ripken Jr. Not only was he a phenomenal player, but he was also a home grown player who the Orioles acquired and grew up in their farm system and worked him into one of the best baseball players of all time. But there are other players who an argument can be made for as well. So please, comment and/or vote, on your favorite Oriole of all time.

he strongly resembles the bespectacled, dancing banana buck sends out in the late innings.

Brooks is my favorite
but a close second is Bobby Grich. I loved watching him and Don Baylor tear up the International league with the Rochester Red Wings in 1971, then move up to the O’s. Seeing him go to the Angels as a free agent was sad, but at least it wasn’t the Yankees.
Youth may come and go, but immaturity can last a lifetime.
Guthrie has two votes and Palmer has none?
Ouch!

I voted for Palmer, didn't want him to get shut out
But my real favorite is Brady Anderson.

Totally agree.
Brady is my fave. And the more weird stories I hear about him, the more I like/miss him. Did anyone catch Tim Kurkjian on ESPN a month or so ago say Brady was by far the most eccentric player he ever met? And the lead-in to him saying this was the guys on Baseball Tonight laughing about Brian Wilson’s spandex tux. How freaking weird must Brady be if he can out-weird Wilson without resorting to Bunyan-beard and spandex?

Jeff Ballard
In 1989, Ballard was super-nice to me and my friend (both teenagers at the time). Now at this point Jeff was 25 years old, something like 13-4 during the O’s “Why Not?” year, and for all we knew, one of the next great lefthanders in the American League.
It didn’t turn out that way, of course. (For the Orioles, it seems like it never does.) But to this day I remember how down-to-earth this “budding superstar” was.
Also: Chris Hoiles. Todd Frohwirth. Brady Anderson.
we need bj surhoff on this list.
