Bruce Chadwick spent 23 years as a journalist with the New York Daily News before earning a doctorate in American history in 1994 at Rutgers University, where he now teaches part-time. He is a professor, historian, lecturer and author of over 28 books, including a lengthy series on baseball history. Aside from books on Major League teams, Chadwick also wrote about Negro League baseball and a book about The Minor Leagues. David Michael Spindel (born August 31, 1941) is an American photographer. He began his professional career in 1964. Spindel incorporates baseball memorabilia in collage form in some of his work. He is probably best known for photographing John Lennon and Yoko Ono during Lennon's last recording sessions for Double Fantasy in 1980. In 1992, Abbeville Press released The Bronx Bombers and The Boston Red Sox, the first two titles in the award winning, eight-volume Major League Memories series. Each book chronicles a major league baseball team's history, in scrapbook form, from inception to present day. Spindel's original photographs created for posters are featured at The National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Baltimore Orioles are an American professional baseball team based in Baltimore, Maryland. The Orioles compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member of the American League (AL) East division. One of the AL's eight charter franchises when the league was established in 1901 with President Ban Johnson, this particular franchise spent its first year as a major league club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the Milwaukee Brewers before moving to St. Louis, Missouri to become the St. Louis Browns. After 52 often-beleaguered years in St. Louis, the franchise was purchased in November 1953 by Baltimore business interests led by Clarence Miles. The franchise officially moved to Baltimore for the 1954 season and adopted the historic "Orioles" name in honor of the official state bird of Maryland. The Orioles name had also been used by several previous major and minor league baseball clubs in Baltimore, including the franchise that would eventually become the New York Yankees. Nicknames for the team include the "O's" and the "Birds". The Orioles experienced their greatest success from 1964 to 1983 and have won a total of nine division championships (1969-1971, 1973-1974, 1979, 1983, 1997, 2014), six pennants (1966, 1969-1971, 1979, 1983), three World Series championships (1966, 1970, 1983), three wild card berths (1996, 2012, 2016), and five Most Valuable Player Awards (third baseman Brooks Robinson in 1964, outfielder Frank Robinson in 1966, first baseman Boog Powell in 1970, and shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1983 and 1991). After suffering a stretch of 14 straight losing seasons from 1998 to 2011, the team has qualified for the postseason three times since 2012, including a division title and advancement to the ALCS for the first time in 17 years in 2014. The Orioles are also well known for their successful stadium, the trend-setting Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which opened in 1992 in downtown Baltimore.
