The Boston Braves‚ who own the Milwaukee minor league franchise‚ block the Browns' attempt to shift their franchise to Milwaukee. Lou Perini‚ Braves owner‚ invokes his territorial privilege‚ stating he has not been offered enough.
Happy Birthday to ex-Orioles Jesse Jefferson, Bobby Munoz, Francisco de la Rosa, and Jorge Julio

2001: The Orioles announce that Albert Belle is "totally disabled and unable to perform as a major league baseball player" due to a severe case of degenerative arthritis of the right hip.
Happy Birthday to Jim Bouton, who must have struck out a few Orioles at some point or another.
RIP Joe DiMaggio, whose 56-game hit streak included 12 games vs. the St. Louis Browns.

1991: Jim Palmer, who is in the Orioles camp as a non-roster player, has a shaky outing against the Red Sox, giving up five hits and two runs in two innings. Palmer, who retired in 1984, will retire again tomorrow, citing a hamstring injury.

whew...long dry stretch there in the book...
1999 -- Former Oriole first-base great Eddie Murray and former General Manager Frank Cashen, who oversaw the club when it reached the postseason six times in a 10-year span, are announced as the newest inductees to the Orioles Hall of Fame. Murray, currently an Orioles bench coach, spent 12-1/2 of his 21 Big League seasons with the Orioles, batting .294 with 343 homers. He returned via trade in 1996 after a six-year absence and hit his 500th career homer to join Hank Aaron and Willie Mays as the only players with 500 homers and 3000 hits.
okay so this was written in 1999 and has a sort of "for those of you who know nothing about the Orioles" flavor, i admit it :D
