| 1966 | First-base coach Hank Bauer replaces Billy Hitchcock, who the Orioles dismissed on the last day of the season after guiding the team to a 163-161 record during his two years in the dugout. Baltimore's new skipper will manage the O's for five seasons, sweeping the Dodgers in 1966 to win the World Series. |
| 1991 | Cal Ripken Jr. (.323, 34,114) wins his second American League Most Valuable Player Award, joining the 1987 selection of Cub outfielder Dawson as the second player from a sixth-place club to get an MVP nod from the BBWAA. The 31-year-old Oriole shortstop, who also copped the honor in 1983, receives 15 of the 28 first-place votes cast by writers to easily outpoint (318-286) Tiger first baseman Cecil Fielder, the runner-up for the second straight year. |
