The Orioles won their first National League pennant in 1894 and participated in the first Temple Cup competition against the New York Giants. They won 24 of their last 25 games.[1]
Their roster contained six future Hall of Famers: Wilbert Robinson, John McGraw, Dan Brouthers, Hughie Jennings, Wee Willie Keeler and Joe Kelley. Every man in their starting line up hit .300 for the season. They bunted, hit-and-ran, Baltimore Chopped, backed-up throws, cut-off throws, and had pitchers cover first. They also deadened balls by icing them, tilted baselines so bunts would roll fair, andput soap around the mound so opposing pitchers would get slippery fingers if he tried to dry his hands in the dirt.[2]
