The city of Baltimore welcomed with open arms their beloved new baseball franchise in 1954. The former St. Louis Browns were now known as the Baltimore Orioles. This is a special newspaper presentation section - not the complete paper- dedicated exclusively to the arrival of the fledgling Birds at the intersection of 33rd and Ellarslie Avenue. The paper is full and complete but has rips and tears at the mid-seam. The front page is magnificent but loose from the rest of the paper. Not pristine. Monumental moment for the Baltimore faithful.
