| - Their 1890 season was inglorious, with the Orioles finishing 24 games out of first. In 1892 the American Association failed and the Orioles moved to the National League, where they finally found glory: Their star-studded lineups fielded seven Hall of Famers (John J. McGraw, Wee Willie Keeler, Hughie Jennings, Joe Kelley, Wilbert Robinson, Joe McGinnity, and Dan Brouthers) and were managed by an eighth, Ned Hanlon. Behind this impressive collection of talent, they won three consecutive National League pennants in 1894, 1895, and 1896. They played in all four Temple Cup tournaments (a short-lived annual tournament which featured as something of a forerunner of the modern World Series, and which pitted the NL's first- and second-place teams against one another after the regular season's conclusion) and won the Cup in 1896 and 1897. The Orioles also became the first American soccer champion during an unpopular attempt by the National League to cross-promote that sport. The team finished second in 1897 and 1898. After the latter season, much of its star-studded roster was transferred to the Brooklyn Dodgers, which shared joint ownership with the Orioles. In 1899, the Orioles were left with only McGraw and Robinson, and they finished fourth. At the end of that year they became one of four victims of the league's contraction. In 1901 a new major league team, from the upstart American League, arrived in Baltimore and took on the Oriole name, but after just two seasons they moved to New York City where they became the incomparably successful Yankees. Baltimore had only minor league baseball until the St. Louis Browns moved to the Baltimore market in 1954.
