Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Atlanta Braves.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Orioles had a disappointing record, winning only 75 Games and finishing last in the new division.  There were no new entrants, and no active players moved up, but there were some minor changes due to the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

1. Cal Ripken Jr.
2. Jim Palmer
3. Brooks Robinson
4. Eddie Murray
5. George Sisler

You can find the entire list here.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Orioles.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Orioles returned to the playoffs, but were hoping for a deeper run.  Should they repeat what they accomplished in 2024 in 2025, there should be new entrants.  As such, there was only one new entrant, but it is an older player who benefited from the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw two changes based on the new structure:

1. Cal Ripken Jr.

2. Brooks Robinson

3. Jim Palmer

4. Eddie Murray

5. George Sisler

You can find the entire list here.

Under the new system, Robinson moved to #2 by slightly edging out Palmer, and Murray overtook Sisler for #4.

Outfielder Burt Shotten enters the list at #47 with the new algorithm.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Baltimore Orioles.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Orioles made it to the playoffs with one of the best young rosters in baseball.  However, as this a century-plus old team with only young stars, there were no changes in the Top 50, but we did want to acknowledge that we took 2023 into account.

As always, we present our top five, which obviously did not change.:

1. Cal Ripken Jr.

2. Jim Palmer

3. Brooks Robinson

4. George Sisler

5. Eddie Murray

Last year, Baltimore went over .500, and could be a sleeper team in 2023, however none of their players cracked the Top 50, nor were there any changes.  We still want to acknowledge that we have counted 2022 into our rankings.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Cal Ripken Jr.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Baltimore Orioles. 

The Baltimore Orioles were formed as a charter member of the American League in 1901, when they were the Milwaukee Brewers.  That only lasted one year, as they relocated to St. louis as the Browns.  While in St. Louis, the Browns had limited success, having only won one Pennant (1944), but fortunes changed when they relocated to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Orioles.

With a trade that brought them Frank Robinson, the Orioles won the World Series in 1966, and with a starting rotation based around Jim Palmer, the O’s won it again in 1970.  A young Cal Ripken Jr. would lead them to their third World Series in 1983, which is to date their last title.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Cal Ripken Jr.

2. Jim Palmer

3. Brooks Robinson

4. George Sisler

5. Eddie Murray

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always we thank you for your support.

It takes a special kind of player to hit 3,000 Hits and 500 Home Runs over a career.  Eddie Murray was just that. 

Murray debuted in the Majors in 1977 with the Orioles, where he had 27 Home Runs in a Rookie of the Year-winning season.  Power and hits would become the First Baseman’s calling card, and from 1977 to 1985, he would have at least 20 or more Home Runs, with three of those years seeing him exceed 30.  He would win the Home Run title with 22 in the strike-shortened year in 1981, and he also won the RBI title. 

The first half of the 1980s was the best half-decade of his career.  In that period, he finished in the top five in MVP voting each year (second in both 1983 and 1984) and was an All-Star annually from '81 to '86. Murray was also recognized for his defensive prowess, capturing Gold Gloves in 1982, 1983 & 1984.  Also earning two Silver Sluggers, Murray was the power man in Baltimore's third World Series win in 1983.

He would play with Baltimore until he was traded after the 1987 season to the Dodgers.

Overall with the Orioles, Murray accrued 2,080 Hits, 343 Home Runs, and 1,224 RBIs, with a .498 Slugging Percentage.  He played 11 more years with stops in L.A., the Mets, Cleveland, and Anaheim, with one return year in 1996.  The first half of his career as an Oriole is what got him into Cooperstown.

Murray’s number 33 was retired in 1998, and he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 in his first year of eligibility.  As for the Orioles, they retired Murray's number 33 in 1998, and he was inducted into the Orioles Hall of Fame the year after.
