The @Orioles played in @SahlensSP last nite. The last time the franchise played in Buffalo it was in 1900 vs. Bisons, the Manager was Connie Mack, the team was called Brewers and the American League was considered a minor league. But virtually every player that year played in MLB
Of 10 no-hitters in St. Louis Browns/@Orioles franchise history, 4 have now occurred on either May 5th or 6th as Ernie Koob had one on May 5, 1917 & Bob Groom did so a day later while Bobo Holloman did it 5/5/1953 (the last before the Browns shipped off to Baltimore a year later)
@SamThaSwindler @stl_nation@ThunderChats#stlbrowns then, not Cardinals. Paige never played with or against Cardinals. He was a St. Louis Browns all-star however
@tcrowntom@St_Louis_Browns Neat. Thats the gold-yellow color you often see... as opposed to orange. It would be a good research project to figure out, in the days before color photography, what colors were really used
Dizzy stepped off the mound, strode to the plate and pointed to the outfield - where the Babe used to clout them. Everybody recognized the gesture immediately. 2/2 #STLCards
In 1948, Babe Ruth made a personal appearance at Sportsman's Park in St Louis. Dizzy Dean was supposed to pitch to the Babe. Ruth stepped to the plate, but in his weakened condition, the bat dropped off his shoulder. Sensing danger in the situation... 1/2 #STLCards
The St. Louis Terriers, which was merged into the Browns, swept a *5*-game series at Wrigley, 6/5/15. The Federal League was and is considered a major-league. Congrats to the @Cardinals on their sweep of a 4-game series, but for Wrigley home embarrassment we got u beat. #stlcards
