Who was the first Oriole to play for the team who was younger than you?

Terry Crowley, well technically Mike Adamson, but I don't even remember him. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/adamsmi01.shtml

Predates me by a bit, but looking up bonus babies and Orioles who made their pro debuts in the majors yesterday Adamson's name came up. He apparently was the first player since the start of the draft to go straight to the majors.

Looks like Manny / Bundy in 2012. I'm a child.

Forgot about Bundy. He's also younger than me.

Cal's also a year older than me. That makes Storm Davis the first Oriole younger than me, by 4 1/2 months After that you have to go to the '85 team with guys like John Habyan and then in '87 with Billy Ripken. By 1990, I was older than 2/3 of the starting line-up with Ripken, Tettleton, and Bradley the exceptions along with SP Dave Johnson.

Now, i'm depressed

I'm looking forward to the next 14 years or so while Satchel Paige's age 58 cameo still makes me look young.

Cal Ripken was born 3 months after me. Closest that I can think of as far as "known" players.

Denny Bautista. I am not amused. 2 games. 2 innings. 35.00 ERA. Gee thanks Denny.

Same. Denny is a month and a half younger than me.

Bautista was arguably the 2nd-worst trade in Oriole history. After those 2 games, 2 innings, and 35.00 ERA the rumor was that Angelos himself was angry their top prospect (and he was the Hangout's #1 prospect at the time) didn't pitch better and ordered him dealt. They traded him to the Royals for Jason Grimsley, who was a key piece in pulling the Orioles into the steroid scandals of the mid-2000s, selling guys out and pitching awfully, too. I was a regular writer for the Hangout back then and I'm pretty sure I wrote a scathing piece on the mind-boggling stupidity of trading your #1 prospect for a 36-year-old middle reliever.

Tillman. Matusz is five months older than I am. Really crazy to think Manny wasn't even two months old my first day of kindergarten and in middle school when I graduated high school. Gonna be really weird when guys my kid brother's age (2001) start making the majors.

McDonald for me, too. Ben and Juan Bell both made their MLB debuts on September 6, 1989, and Bell is the younger of the two, except Ben entered the game in the 3rd inning, and Bell didn't go in until the 8th. So Big Ben it is.

Whew! I didn't notice Bell, but am very glad that it's Ben.

For me, it's Chris Tillman. Well, technically it's Brian Matusz but that's only by a few days. Seeing all these players born in the early '90s dominating the game today makes me feel old.

Kudos Tinstaapp. Fun game.

Ahhh. Bell was born early in '68 so wasn't as big of a threat to me. I had to worry about cups-of-coffee born a few months earlier than Ben in '67.

Hayden Penn, 2005.

Same for me. I'm sure he'd be the guy for alot of O's fans.

[Davey]

Dave Ford for me...(see the 1978 team roster)

[weams]

Ben McDonald! Whew. For a while there I thought it was Stacy Jones...who I've never heard of. Jones is closer in age to me, but Ben made it to the bigs several years ahead of Jones' cup of coffee.

I think Cal may have been the first younger than me.

[Babkins]

Ouch. Matt Riley. But he wasn't rushed or anything.
