[edit] Season Summary
The Baltimore Orioles' 1901 season finished with the Orioles in 5th in the American League with a record of 68-65. The team was managed by John McGraw and played at Oriole Park, which favored hitters. The team had the highest batting average in the league, at .294, with most of the regulars hitting over .300. McGraw was the most impressive hitter with an OBP of .508. Mike Donlin also had an OBP over .400, while Jimmy Williams led the team with a .495 slugging percentage - his 21 triples tied for the league lead along with teammate Bill Keister.
Among pitchers, Joe McGinnity was 26-20 and Frank Foreman was 12-6.
Along with Hall of Famers McGraw and McGinnity, the team had two Hall of Fame catchers in Roger Bresnahan and Wilbert Robinson.
The team played relatively well during the first part of the season (especially in June), but they slumped in August and September. They finished fifth in the league, 13.5 games out.
After another season in Baltimore, the team moved to New York in 1903, eventually becoming known as the New York Yankees. McGraw, while he became famous as a manager in New York, was with the National League's New York Giants for most of his managerial career.
