The 39-year-old Jones broke in with the Seattle Mariners in 2006 before getting traded to the Orioles in 2008. He then spent 11 very productive years in Baltimore, becoming a five-time All-Star, a four-time Gold Glover and a Silver Slugger winner.

He hit .277 lifetime with 282 home runs and 945 RBI. He hit a career-high 33 homers in 2013 and had seven different seasons of 20 or more homers.

Jones ended his big-league career with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019 and then went to Japan, playing for Orix for 2020 and 2021.

Jones also made one of the best plays in World Baseball Classic history, helping Team USA win the 2017 version of the event.

Osulak, 62, spent 14 years in the big leagues, including five with Baltimore. He hit .281 with the Orioles with 35 homers and 31 stolen bases.

Davis has spent parts of three decades in the O's broadcast booth.

A five-time Maryland Sportscaster of the Year winner, Davis began his career with WBAL-TV and WCBM Radio before joining WQSR-FM as a sportscaster on the No. 1-rated “Rouse & Company” morning show. Additionally, he hosted pre-and post-game “O’s Extra” shows on MASN, and continues to produce and host “Wall to Wall Baseball” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Davis was honored with the John F. Steadman Lifetime Achievement Award by the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019.
