From 1903 to 1953, the Baltimore Orioles were one of the leading powers of the International League, winning seven consecutive pennants beginning in 1919 under the guidance of Jack Dunn. When Dunn signed a 19 year old George Herman Ruth, the youngster became known as 'Jack's newest babe,' and the rest is history. Rogers Hornsby managed the club in 1938.
