Baltimore Orioles: 1960-1965, Laying the Foundation

1960 began an era of winning for the Baltimore Orioles that laid the foundation for one of the most dominant generations in Baseball history.

If the late 1950’s were the Baltimore Oriole’s initiation into the fraternity known as Major League Baseball, the 1960’s marked the Oriole’s ascension into greatness and the beginning of an almost dynasty like era that would last over 20 seasons.

During the early 1960’s General Manager Lee MacPhail masterfully laid the foundation for over two decades of success that would see the Orioles become a World Series contender almost every season.
