History

Historical Context

After the Orioles finished third in the AL East with a 71-73 record in 1995—their fourth season at Oriole Park at Camden Yards—the franchise entered a brief upswing. Today, under manager Craig Albernaz, the 2026 club relies on a youthful roster, hoping the 1995 turnaround can guide a rebuild toward a postseason push.
