Quick Facts Baltimore Orioles, League ...

The Orioles roster contained six future Hall of Famers: Wilbert Robinson, John McGraw, Dan Brouthers, Hughie Jennings, Wee Willie Keeler and Joe Kelley. Every man in their starting line-up hit .300 for the season. They bunted, hit-and-ran, Baltimore chopped, backed up throws, cut off throws, and had pitchers cover first.^{[needs context]} They also deadened balls by icing them, tilted baselines so bunts would roll fair, and put soap around the mound so an opposing pitcher would get slippery fingers if he tried to dry his hands in the dirt.^[1]
