Milt Pappas debuted as a teenager for the Baltimore Orioles in 1957, and a couple of years later, he was the ace of their staff.  An All-Star in both 1962 and 1965, Pappas never had a losing record in Baltimore, and with the team, he was in the top ten in ERA six times and in WHIP four times.

His tenure with the Orioles ended when he was traded for Frank Robinson, which in all due respect to Pappas was massively lopsided in favor of Baltimore.  For the Orioles, he had a record of 110-74 and 944 Strikeouts and entered the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1985.
