Some History

Following the 2003 season in which they had a 71-91 record, the Orioles fired Manager Mike Hargrove and replaced him with Yankees coach Lee Mazzilli. The O's would attempt to improve themselves on the field as well through free agency signing C Javier Lopez and SS Miguel Tejada, while bringing back former Orioles 1B Rafael Palmeiro and P Sidney Ponson (Ponson was traded to the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline in 2003).

In their first season under Mazzilli, the Orioles offense was one of the strongest in the American League as they hit .281 as a team. Miguel Tejada led the Majors with 150 RBI. However their pitching was not particularly strong in the first half of the season as the Orioles suffered through an awful 8-19 June, effectively knocking them out of the playoff race by mid season. The team hired former O's skipper Ray Miller as the team's pitching coach and they pitched better in the second half posting a 3.01 ERA in September. However it would not help the Orioles finish above .500; but for the first year since 1992 the O's did not finish in 4th in the AL East, they finished 3rd behind the Yankees and Bosox with a record of 78-84.

This 2004 Orioles home white uniform continues the clean classic look re-introduced in the early 1990's. This uniform does feature some slight changes from earlier eras: Gone is the black detailing that outlined the collar and the button piping. Also, please make note of the patch, on the left shoulder, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Orioles arrival in Baltimore from St. Louis.
