The Oriole Has Landed.
Welcome to NumerOlogy! I’ve spent most of the last year digging up every tidbit of information I could find about the players and coaches who have worn each uniform number for the Baltimore Orioles, and now I’m submitting it for your entertainment. Hopefully you’ll be able to use this site to settle a bet, learn something new, rekindle some old memories, or at the very least kill a couple of hours. I hope the links on the left side of the page are mostly self-explanatory, but just to cover my bases, here’s what you’ll find on this site:
- I’ll use this index page for site updates, Orioles news, and my own pointless ramblings about the team.
- The numbered pages (0-9, 10-19, etc.) offer short writeups for everyone to ever wear each respective number. You’ll find gobs of stats, anecdotes, and quirky facts that will tell the story behind the numbers.
- If you just want a chronological number-by-number list, with players who wore multiple numbers cross-referenced, check out the All-Time Roster.
- There a bunch of fun miscellaneous tables on the Odds and Ends page. Find out who was the longest-tenured player for each number, which Orioles had their numbers retired by other teams, which players were traded for someone who took their old number, and more.
- I’m coping with with my baseball card addiction by posting a scan and stream-of-consciousness writeup of one Orioles card each day; I’ve linked to my card blog (Baseball Card of the Day).
- Links. Sports blogs, reference sites, humor sites, check it out.
- About. You know, how and why I created the site, and a little slice of my secret identity.
Have fun!
