Over nearly 65 years of Orioles baseball, a whole lot of players have put on the uniform, with the team crossing the 1,000 mark back in 2015 with Gerardo Parra’s debut. That is a whole lot of Orioles, going from big, unforgettable names like Cal Ripken Jr. and his franchise-leading 3,001 games all the way down to a host of one-gamers, including 2019’s Jose Rondon, who got all of one plate appearance.
Camden Chat has been around for 15 of those years. That’s been long enough for three different versions of a top 40 Orioles list, going back to 2006’s list by site founder SC, the 2010 list worked on by my predecessor Stacey, on through the 2014 list compiled by Stacey and myself.
