Brady went onto play elsewhere, if he had ended with Baltimore, it might have been a different story with his number.

No. It would not have. And it wont with Nick.

The Orioles do have a list of unofficial retired numbers, meaningful to the org and yet are not officially retired.

Small, but there is one.

7 and 44? Certainly. If and when Nick leaves we will have another 21. And another 1.

Yes 7 & 44.

Some discussion about using 46, when Guthie arrived here.

Just like how the Colts didn't retire Unitas's number because he played a season in San Diego? Brady Anderson's seven week stint in Cleveland had no impact on whether the Orioles were going to retire his number. The Orioles don't retire non Hall of Famers numbers. As far as the non-issued numbers of 7 and 44, those were for people in the organization for 30 years.
