From the list, overall, I'd say Frank Robinson. Of course, he only spent six years with the Orioles, but counting his overall career, mostly with the Reds, he was the best of the three. Counting just the time with the Orioles, Brooks and Cal would give him a run (though that fabulous triple crown season looms heavy). Guys like Jim Palmer and Eddie Murray could easily be thrown into the mix too.

If this is a popularity contest then it is Brooks or Cal. The best career as an Oriole is most likely Eddie Murray or Jim Palmer. I assume of course you are ignoring their SLB origins.
Since this seems to be an unobjective poll, I have seen all the players named play going back to the day the Orioles began play in Baltimore.Last edited by KCGHOST; 11-28-2005, 08:21 AM.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball

I hope my son loves the Red Sox as much as you love the Orioles, Brian.
My favorite player is Cal, Orioles or any other team."I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."

I'm jealous too. I wish I could've seen the glory days of Robinson-Robinson-Powell!
Frank Robinson usually gets my vote for best career Oriole, despite playing more seasons in Cincy. Whether the team was headed for good times or not, Frank is given credit for crystallizing the organization for two decades, including those great years after he left.
However, if you ask for the greatest superstar in O's history, it'd be between Cal and Brooks. After witnessing the events surrounding Cal's retirement, I must put Mr. Ripken at the head of the class. He was Mr. Baltimore for a long, long time and something tells me the organization did not bend over backwards for Brooks as much as they did for Cal.
