The Baltimore Orioles have always understood that some players do not just wear a uniform — they become part of the city itself. Retiring a number is the franchise's way of saying thank you, and making sure those names echo through Camden Yards forever.
#8 - Cal Ripken Jr (retired October 6 2001) (Hall of Fame)

#33 - Eddie Murray (retired June 7 1998) (Hall of Fame)
Eddie Murray wore No. 33 with a quiet, steady greatness that Orioles fans came to cherish over his many years in Baltimore. A switch-hitting first baseman of rare consistency, he accumulated 504 home runs and drove in 1,917 runs over the course of his Hall of Fame career. The Orioles retired his number because his combination of production, professionalism, and championship contributions made him one of the most complete players the organization has ever known.
