On Tuesday, the Orioles collected a season-high 18 hits on their way to a 12-0 win over the Blue Jays. The victory (combined with the Yankees loss to Tampa) gave Baltimore a share of the AL East lead. It also marked the latest the Orioles have been in first place since September 1997, the last time Baltimore made the playoffs. In honor of the franchise's revival, SI presents this collection of classic Baltimore Orioles photos.
