On June 7, 1998, the Baltimore Orioles celebrated one of its Hall of Famers with a number-retirement ceremony.
Unlike other teams in the AL East, the Baltimore Orioles take number retirement seriously. The players who are commemorated in Camden Yards are generational talent who continue to inspire players today.
On this day 22 years ago, the Orioles and their fans celebrated Eddie Murray and placed his number alongside the five other men who represent what the Orioles stand for.
