It crossed my mind, ever since the news of former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Mike Mussina receiving his call to the Hall of Fame on Wednesday night, that we probably won’t see another Oriole elected for a very long time. The only players that might be in the conversation down the line are likely Nick Markakis and Adam Jones, both of whom are extreme long-shots.
Fans of the Orioles were blessed to see the likes of Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr. Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray, and Earl Weaver elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but for modern fans, it has been a different story.
