Baltimore Orioles (1901–1902)

Baltimore Orioles (1901–1902) were a minor league baseball team that existed for only two seasons. They were not affiliated with the current Major League Baseball team of the same name. This iteration of the Orioles played in the American League's short-lived Western League. The team's home was at the Baltimore Baseball Grounds.

The 1901 Orioles finished with a record far below .500, placing them near the bottom of the league standings. Specific win-loss records for both seasons are difficult to find comprehensively documented in readily available sources, highlighting the limited historical record available for this team compared to their modern-day MLB namesake. Information about their players, management, and individual game results is sparse in widely accessible historical archives. Further research may be needed to uncover more detailed information about their performance and roster. Despite their short lifespan and relatively obscure status within baseball history, they represent a small but important piece of the sport's past in Baltimore. The team's brief existence reflects the fluctuating nature of minor league baseball in the early 20th century and the challenges many teams faced in establishing themselves and achieving lasting success.
