Surhoff is my all-time favorite Non-Superstar Oriole and probably my second favorite Oriole. That guy left it on the diamond every day.

Orsulak

Lenny Sakata..

Any of you remember a guy named Sam Bowens? As a kid I saw him mash a ball in Memorial stadium that missed going completely out of the ballpark in left field by two rows of bleachers. So of course at that age he was one of my favorites, and since I batted LHed I liked Curt Blefary.

I also had a couple of relief pitchers that were my favorites: Eddie Watt (with his big chaw of tobacco was cool) and I always liked Stu Miller, Moe Drabowsky (who can ever forget his performance mowing down the Dodgers in 1966) and another more obscure reliever named Pete Reichert, who I am pretty sure they got in a trade with the Senators.

No one brought up Todd Frowirth, the submariner

Suprised I haven't seen Jim Dwyer's name mentioned yet.

"Jim was a great role player and clutch pinch-hitter for the Orioles. In the heat of the '82 pennant race, he reached base 13 consecutive times over 4 games. In July '83, he hit .452 in 48 at-bats, ranking 5th in the Best Month Performance all-time list."

The quote is from the sponser on Dwyer's Baseball Reference page Raymond Erdman

Edit: Sorry Old #5 I missed yours.

Jim Gentile although I thought he was a superstar and Steve Barber

[OrangeJerseys]

I'd also like to mention Tippy Martinez. I loved his windup, and of course, his move to first.

BJ Surhoff was one of my favorites. I loved his hustle and how he got the most out of his talent.

When I was a kid, I was also a big fan of T-Bone Shelby. I was always the leadoff and fast and liked to steal bases, so I liked those types of guys.

I liked Rick Dempsey always played hard and had fun doing it!

[ChuckyBobby]

I know they've already been said, but I did like Newhan and Byrnes.

[bmorebird]

[OrangeJerseys]

Gotta give a shout to Mickey Tettleton too.

[Col. Claypool]

B.J. Surhoff

Chris Hoiles

Billy Ripken

[jets4ever]

Chris Hoiles was always a favorite.

Anybody remember when Leo Gomez got off to that crazy torrid start in '93, something like 8 homers halfway through May? I think he finished with 10 and a .197 batting average. I always liked him though, and the man with the goggles, Chris Sabo.
