The Orioles as a franchise know a thing or two about great infielders. If you were constructing your Mount Rushmore (Mount "Rutschmore," someday?) of Orioles greats, three of the four spots would be occupied by outstanding former infielders Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray. Even in more recent decades, the O’s have turned to the likes of Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts, Matt Wieters and Manny Machado to lead this team. Whenever the Orioles find success, there is almost always a standout infielder at the heart of it.
That spirit of infield excellence is alive and well with this 2024 team.
