Jones spent 11 of his 14 major league seasons in a Baltimore uniform (2008-18) following his acquisition from the Seattle Mariners on February 8, 2008. He ranks among all-time franchise leaders (since 1954) in hits (4th, 1,781), home runs (5th, 263), RBI (5th, 866), runs (5th, 875), doubles (7th, 305), and games played (8th, 1,613). His 93 career outfield assists are tied with NICK MARKAKIS for second in team history behind PAUL BLAIR (105), both also Orioles Hall of Famers.
A five-time All-Star (2009, 2012-15), Jones is one of six Orioles in franchise history to be named an All-Star in at least five seasons, joining CAL RIPKEN, JR. (19), BROOKS ROBINSON (15), EDDIE MURRAY (7), JIM PALMER (6), and MIKE MUSSINA (5). A four-time Gold Glove Award winner in center field (2009, 2012-14), Jones’ 2009 Gold Glove marked the first by a Baltimore outfielder since Blair (1975), while his 2013 Slugger Award was the first by an Orioles outfielder since the award was created in 1980.
Jones was a three-time Roberto Clemente Award nominee (2011, 2013, 2016), an annual recognition of a player from each MLB club that “best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field.” He finished his Orioles career with six Heart and Hustle Award nominations (2012, 2014-18) and three Most Valuable Oriole recognitions (2011-13). He officially retired from baseball as a Baltimore Oriole on September 15, 2023, and in January 2025, returned to the organization as a Special Advisor to the General Manager and Community Ambassador.
Orsulak spent five seasons with the Orioles from 1988-92, batting .281 (579-for-2,059) with 97 doubles, 15 triples, 35 home runs, and 221 RBI in 632 games. In 1991, he recorded a single-season franchise record and MLB-leading 22 outfield assists. Since then, Washington’s Alfonso Soriano (2006) and Houston’s Richard Hidalgo (2003) are the only outfielders in the majors to record a 22-assist season. His 54 career outfield assists rank seventh in franchise history behind Blair (105), Jones/Markakis (93), AL BUMBRY (68), BRADY ANDERSON (57), and JACKIE BRANDT (54). Orsulak led Baltimore in batting average in 1988, 1989, and 1992, while ranking second in 1991 behind Ripken, Jr.
Davis, winner of the Herb Armstrong Award given to non-uniformed Orioles personnel, served as a fill-in radio and TV play-by-play broadcaster for Orioles games for three decades. A five-time Maryland Sportscaster of the Year winner, Davis began his career with WBAL-TV and WCBM Radio before joining WQSR-FM as a sportscaster on the No. 1-rated “Rouse & Company” morning show. Additionally, he hosted pre-and post-game “O’s Extra” shows on MASN, and continues to produce and host “Wall to Wall Baseball” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Davis was honored with the John F. Steadman Lifetime Achievement Award by the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019.
