There are only a few Baltimore Orioles who have been inducted into Hall of Fame, even though there are several who have worn the jersey for a few seasons.

These Orioles were joined today by Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez, and Tim Raines, who gave their speeches and officially entered the Hall. Bud Selig and John Schuerholz were also inducted.

Even though there are many men who worse Orioles jerseys in the Hall, let’s look at the few men who wore it for the majority of their careers. Three of the Orioles who are in the Hall of Fame were lifers and all of four of these men have World Series rings.
