I was thinking of these guys, but I felt that they sort of flirted with the line posed by the OP.

yeah, I left Brady out too, because of that, always loved the guy as a player here.

But, going back to the OP, and he said :

No HOFers, no perennial All-Stars,

Brady wasn't a HOF and nor was he a perennial All-Star, just three AS in 15 seasons.

Doug DeCinces was my first favorite player.

Steve Finley was my favorite from the '89 team, but so many from that year stick with me. Milligan, Orsulak, Brady, Worthington, Tettleton, Hickey.

Loved Koji. My 9-year-old is Nate, so we had a soft spot for McLouth.

Always wished I had a time machine to watch the old Orioles. Pretty sure I can name everyone who played for the '94 Champs. Robinson, Brouthers, Reitz, Jennings, McGraw, Kelley, Brodie, Keeler, Bonner, McMahon, Mullane, Inks, Hoffer, ohhh.... the back end of that pitching staff turned over a lot and I haven't thought of them for a bit... Kirtley Baker didn't retire a batter but allowed a run... Stub Brown pitched a little for them. Boileryard Clarke was the 2nd catcher. I'm sure I'm missing one or two. (I looked - how could I forget Kid Gleason, pitcher-turned 2B? Also George Hemming, Duke Esper, Bill Hawke, and Jack Horner. Pitchers, several for just a few games. That team turned over the staff and almost out of necessity used something like a rotation.)

1894 was the craziest of offensive years, or close to it. Bert Inks allowed 108 runs in 133 innings and had a 98 ERA+. The Orioles scored 1171 runs in 129 games and had a team OPS of .901 despite only hitting 33 homers. I believe their 150 triples is the all-time record.

LOL! You had me on this....I read the first couple of names and thought "Hmm, I don't recall these guys in '94....then I read a few more and thought what the heck...." hahahha

Good One!!

I might be in the minority, but never called much for the player, not even when he was here.

When I think about the type of players we're talking about for some reason I go to the teams that usually stick out in my mind the most. Not because of the teams themselves but because of circumstances around the teams at the time. So the late 70's to early 80s teams stick out first and foremost for me because I was around 10 years old and just starting to follow the O's. Then the next time frame that sticks out is the early 90s when OPACY first opened because it's when I was old enough to pay for and go to games on a regular basis. So with that said my list is:

Brady / Devo . I know Brady may be skirting the lines of the OP's request but hey, he's on my list. Those two swiping homers from the wall seemed like a nightly thing

Terry Crowley. Yes, The Crow. When I was a kid I couldn't figure out why he didn't play all the time. I swear he got a hit EVERY time they brought him in to pinch hit.

Orsulak. He seemed like what Crowley would have been (in my mind) if he played full time.

T Bone Shelby

J.....J.....Hardy Not sure if current players are allowed but JJ may be one of my favorite O's of all time.

Merv Rettenmund.

My Orioles fandom began when I was a 6 year-old boy, in first grade in October of 1971. Growing up in Brewster, NY, it was pretty unusual for a kid to adapt the Orioles as his favorite team, but I did. The Orioles were playing the Pirates in the World Series. I remember the last two games of the series (Game 6 and Game 7.) My whole family was rooting for the Pirates because they liked Roberto Clemente, so naturally, I rooted for the Orioles. After the final groundout to end Game Seven which give the Pirates the series, my whole family whooped it up in the living room, and I went outside, put my face in my hands, and pouted on the swing-set in our back yard up here in Brewster, NY.

I later found out that the player who grounded out for that final out of Game Seven (and I remember it vividly) was Merv Rettenmund.

I re-watched the movie Frequency last night, and the Orioles-Mets series of 69 had a small part in the movie.

To name a few....

[Palmoripken]

Can we bring up some managers? I'd like to nominate Johnny Oates. He's sort of the forgotten man of solid O's managers between Earl and Buck. We all loved Davey but Johnny never had a full losing season during his time here from 1991-1994. Bonus points for him being an Orioles lifer and Buck pays tribute to Johnny.

[Creamsicle]

Surhoff Surhoff. He's been my favorite O almost since he first arrived.

I'll take Mora second.
