Under his 16-year stewardship, the Orioles have reached the American League Championship Series twice, led the league in attendance five times – the first times in franchise history – and hosted such historic occasions as the first games between a Major League Baseball team and Cuba in nearly 40 years and Cal Ripken’s 2131st consecutive game. In a testament to the enduring popularity of the team, in 2008 the Orioles welcomed their 100 millionth fan in franchise history and Oriole Park at Camden Yards welcomed its 50 millionth fan in just 17 seasons. Opened in 1992, Oriole Park is the quickest ballpark to achieve the 50 million fan milestone in the history of baseball. The Orioles’ ownership has committed to building a winner by rebuilding the farm system with young talent that is now beginning to pay dividends. Under Mr. Angelos, the Orioles have dramatically increased their stake in scouting and player development, both in the United States and internationally. President of Baseball Operations Andy MacPhail and his staff are paving the way to a new era of Orioles baseball designed to further fortify the player development and scouting areas while building on the talent already at the major league level. In addition, Mr. Angelos’ vision in creating the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network not only maintained the integrity of the Orioles television territory, but it created a valuable asset for the Orioles franchise, which is a part-owner of the regional sports network. The success of the network, over the long term will provide the territorial and financial stability necessary to secure the future of the Orioles franchise in Baltimore for generations to come. In conjunction with Major League Baseball’s relocation of the Nationals in Washington, D.C., Mr. Angelos, refusing to allow the division or diminution of the Orioles’ exclusive television territory, offered instead to share the Orioles’ exclusive television territory with the Nationals and to form a jointly owned regional sports network that would professionally produce and present the games, shows, and programming of both teams throughout the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area and the seven-state region served by MASN. Orioles games are now distributed to a larger audience than ever, as the network is available to more than 6 million households from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Charlotte, North Carolina. The network introduced pregame and postgame shows for every game and recruited Emmy award-winning, network-caliber broadcast teams, which include Hall of Famers and World Series MVPs. While the Orioles maintain a majority ownership interest in the network, MASN treats both teams equally in all matters. In 2010, the network began its sixth year televising Washington Nationals games and its fourth season as the Orioles’ television outlet as part of its 24-hour programming schedule. In addition to televising every available Nationals and Orioles game, Mr. Angelos wanted the network to highlight local collegiate programs whose games had not previously been televised. Many local Maryland schools are among the 300 NCAA football, basketball, and lacrosse games televised by MASN every year. Mr. Angelos has been an industry leader in professional baseball and has helped strengthen the national pastime. He was the only owner to serve on the negotiating committee that worked out the historic 2002 labor agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association – the first such agreement without a strike in the 30-plus years of labor negotiations between the groups. His involvement in those labor negotiations was hailed by both sides. Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association were able to reach a five-year agreement without a strike, the first settlement without a work stoppage since the rise of the players’ labor movement in 1969, setting the stage for a second such agreement in the fall of 2006. The Orioles owner also has taken the lead in helping utilize baseball as a bridge among people. He spearheaded the effort to have the Orioles and a team of Cuba’s best players engage in an historic 2-game series in the two countries, a match-up viewed as a way to transcend politics and bring about closer cultural and social ties between the people of the United States and Cuba. He also helped to develop the first baseball team to represent Greece in Olympic baseball competition at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and thereafter to establish baseball on a permanent basis for Greek youth. This effort is being done in compliance with Commissioner Bud Selig’s program to extend the internationalization of baseball. 2010 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE 2010 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE ORIOLES REACH MANAGER & COACHES 2010 ORIOLES 2009 IN REVIEW OPPONENTS MINOR LEAGUES Mr. Angelos, who was elected to and served on the Baltimore City Council from 1959 to 1963, has long been active in civic and community endeavors. He currently is Chairman of WestSide Renaissance, Inc., the non-profit organization of civic leaders that is spearheading the $1 billion revitalization of Downtown Baltimore’s west side. He also is a board member and major benefactor of Charles Street Development Corp., which is working to enhance Baltimore’s historic avenue. In this regard, he has entered into a unique partnership with the Johns Hopkins University School of Continuing Studies to ensure they maintain its presence in the downtown area with a building at Charles and Fayette Streets devoted to business education. Mr. Angelos serves as a member of the board for a number of colleges, hospitals and civic organizations and has been widely honored for his commitment to higher education and civic causes. He has received honorary doctorate degrees from Mount Saint Mary’s College, Loyola College of Maryland and the University of Baltimore. He is a member of the Business-Higher Education Forum, the Supreme Court Historical Society, the American Academy of Achievement and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor Society. He is a recipient of the AFL-CIO Social Justice Award. Mr. Angelos is also a strong supporter of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture. He serves on the Baltimore museum’s Board of Directors and, in addition lending personal financial support, was instrumental in helping the museum secure funding from the state of Maryland. RECORDS & HISTORY Through cash contributions, ticket and memorabilia donations, club resources and promotion, over 800 non-profit groups are aided by the Orioles each year. The Orioles Charitable Foundation has contributed to organizations such as the Salvation Army, the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, the National Kidney Foundation, House with a Heart, Junior Advancement and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Brain Gala. Also among recipients of Orioles support is the John Steadman Cancer Initiative, which raises funds for cancer research and awareness in memory of the longtime Baltimore sportswriter who succumbed to the disease in 2001. Through its foundation and client contributions, the Orioles have donated millions of dollars to various charitable causes, including for the 14th straight year being sponsors of the Baltimore Symphony Gala. On a personal level, Mr. Angelos and his wife, Georgia, became the first ever $1 million donors to the United Way’s Central Maryland chapter. The chapter, which covers Baltimore City and Baltimore, Harford, Carroll, Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, had never received an individual donation greater than $250,000 prior to Mr. and Mrs. Angelos’ contribution. Mr. Angelos is also an active supporter of the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association. The son of Greek immigrants, Mr. Angelos was born July 4, 1929 in Pittsburgh, PA. The family moved to Baltimore when he was an infant, and he was raised in the industrial neighborhood of Highlandtown in East Baltimore. He graduated from Patterson Park High School and from the University of Baltimore, where he was valedictorian of his class at the School of Law. An attorney since 1961, he has built the Law Offices of Peter G. Angelos, P.C., into one of the nation’s leading personal injury law firms representing the victims of harmful products. Throughout his legal career, Angelos has been a champion for ordinary citizens and has taken on some of the most powerful corporations in the country, including asbestos manufacturers, the tobacco companies and the pharmaceutical industry. ORIOLE PARK In addition to building a club fans can be proud of, Mr. Angelos has overseen the efforts of the Orioles to make significant contributions to the community, particularly for children. Under Mr. Angelos’ direction, the club launched OriolesREACH in 2007 to centralize its community relations initiatives in an effort to better reach those who needed the most assistance. Over 10,000 children experience a game for free at Oriole Park each season thanks to the OriolesREACH Gameday Experience Program, which provides complimentary tickets, transportation, concessions and souvenirs to those who might otherwise not be able to attend a game. Other annual OriolesREACH initiatives include a Food Drive, Blood Drive, Equipment Drive and Kids Holiday Party, among other diverse and meaningful programs. MEDIA At Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Mr. Angelos has taken constructive steps off the field to enhance the fan experience. In order to keep baseball games an affordable family experience, Mr. Angelos has insisted the club offer a range of ticket pricing. Furthermore, at his direction, Camden Yards maintains one of the most liberal food policies in all of professional sports, allowing outside food and beverages to be brought into the stadium. Despite an industry-wide trend towards selling stadium naming rights, Mr. Angelos has been steadfast in maintaining the integrity of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Recently, the fan experience was further enhanced by a complete upgrade of the ballpark’s sound system and a conversion of the in-park video boards to a high definition (HD) signal. FRONT OFFICE FRONT OFFICE 7 FRONT OFFICE He made a $5 million, dollar-for-dollar matching pledge to support the construction of a new 190,000 square foot law school building, to open in 2013, as part of the John and Frances Angelos Law Center at the University of Baltimore Law School. ORIOLES REACH MANAGER & COACHES Peter Angelos also serves as a Member of the Board of the following institutions and foundations: Johns Hopkins University; University of Maryland Medical Systems Corporation; St. Joseph Medical Center Foundation; George Meany Center- National Labor College; Loyola College in Maryland; and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He is also a member of The Johns Hopkins Medicine Board of Visitors, the Advisory Board of the University of Baltimore School of Law and the Board of Visitors of the University of Baltimore. The Baltimore Urban League presented him with its Whitney Young, Jr. Memorial Award for his commitment to furthering the quality of life for the citizens of Greater Baltimore. He also has been honored by the NAACP, the Associated Black Charities of Maryland and the Johns Hopkins Allen L. Berman University Real Estate Institute. In 1998, the Baltimore Sun named Peter G. Angelos as its Man of the Year. Mr. Angelos and his wife have two sons, John and Louis. John is an Executive Vice President with the Orioles, while Louis is an attorney with the Law Offices of Peter G. Angelos. 2010 ORIOLES OWNERSHIP OF THE ORIOLES 2009 IN REVIEW On October 4, 1993, American League owners unanimously approved the sale of ownership of the Orioles from thenprincipal shareholder Eli S. Jacobs to a group of investors led by Baltimorean Peter Angelos. The sale placed the Orioles in local hands for the first time since 1979, when Jerold C. Hoffberger, representing his family, which owned a controlling interest in both the Orioles and the National Brewing Company, sold the franchise to prominent Washington attorney Edward Bennett Williams. OPPONENTS From October 29, 1953, when the transfer of the St. Louis Browns franchise became official until Williams purchased the club late in 1979, the Baltimore Baseball Club, Inc. was publicly held and was operated by a group of Baltimore investors which owned a majority share of the BBCI. Among those who played key roles in the operation of the franchise during that 26-year period were: Former chief executives Clarence Miles, who organized the group that secured the St. Louis Browns for Baltimore and who served as the club’s first president; James Keelty, Jr.; Joseph A. W. Iglehart; and Jerry Hoffberger, as well as longtime club treasurer Zanvyl Krieger (‘58-’79). MINOR LEAGUES RECORDS & HISTORY ORIOLE PARK MEDIA 8 2010 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE Harvey M.

His first effort, The Hunt for Red October--the story of a Russian submarine captain who defects to the United States--sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted on to the New York Times bestseller list after President Ronald Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn” and “non-put-downable.” Since then, Clancy has established himself as the undisputed king of the techno-thriller, a literary genre he’s credited with inventing, and a master at building realistic scenarios by “turning up the volume” on current events and political reality. Other #1 bestsellers followed: Patriot Games, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears, Without Remorse, Debt of Honor, Executive Orders, Rainbow Six, The Bear and The Dragon and, most recently, Red Rabbit. 2010 ORIOLES The walls of Clancy’s office are lined with war games, books on weapons, and government produced maps, all tribute to his lifelong fascination with technology and the military. Although severe myopia limited his personal involvement as a member of the armed forces to a brief stint in Loyola’s ROTC program, the success of his books has resulted in his “adoption” by the military. He is regularly welcomed aboard jets, submarines, and destroyers, and permitted to ride in tanks to his heart’s content. Admirals and generals give him access, Pentagon officials debrief him, and many of his books are required reading at our nation’s war colleges. His non-fiction works include Into the Storm: A Study in Command with General Fred Franks, Jr. (Ret.), and Submarine, Armored Cav, Fighter Wing, Marine and Airborne. 2009 IN REVIEW OPPONENTS MINOR LEAGUES RECORDS & HISTORY ORIOLE PARK MEDIA 10 JOHN P.

In 1973, following the tragic death of Roberto Clemente, the award was named to honor the man whose spirit and goodwill will always be remembered. The 12-time All-Star and Hall-of-Famer was killed in a plane crash in 1972 on his way to deliver food and medical supplies to earthquake victims of Nicaragua. The award recognizes those individuals who truly understand the value of helping others. A panel of baseball dignitaries, including Vera Clemente and Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, annually selects the winner from a list of 30 candidates, one from each Major League club. These local winners are announced in September during Roberto Clemente Day. The winner of the National Roberto Clemente Award is announced during a pregame ceremony at the World Series. Past winners include Carlos Delgado, John Smoltz, Edgar Martinez, Jamie Moyer, Jim Thome, Curt Schilling, Al Leiter, Tony Gwynn, Willie Mays, Ozzie Smith and Cal Ripken Jr. In 2009, Nick Markakis was the Orioles’ Clemente Award winner. Markakis, and his wife, Christina, began a foundation to assist disadvantaged children in Maryland with their Rightside Foundation. Nick also hosted parties for groups of deserving children at ESPN Zone and the Baltimore Ravens’ practice facility. 2010 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE RECORDS & HISTORY 2B 45 46 42 ORIOLE PARK Team BAL TOR LAD MEDIA Player NICK MARKAKIS Adam Lind Andre Ethier 20+ HR, 40+ 2B, 80+ RBI, 90+ BB, 100+ R SEASONS IN ORIOLE HISTORY 2009 IN REVIEW OUTFIELDERS WITH 40+ 2B, 50+ BB, 90+ R & 100+ RBI IN 2009 107 FRONT OFFICE FRANK MATA – INVITEE 74 RHP ORIOLES REACH Full Name: Frank Jesus Mata Born: March 11, 1984 Opening Day 2010 Age: 26 Height: 6’1” Weight: 250 Bats: Right Throws: Right Birthplace/Residence: Born and resides in Edo, Venezuela Contract Status: Signed through 2010 M.L.

The Birthplace is one of the top baseball museums in the country, featuring an extensive collection of Ruthian artifacts and mementos, as well as serving as the official museum of the Baltimore Orioles and the archives of the Baltimore Colts and Johnny Unitas. The Museum showcases different aspects of baseball in exhibits throughout the year. The Museum also hosts appearances by past, present and future Orioles and other Major League stars, as well as nationally known authors of sports publications for lectures and book signings. Striving to exhibit its growing collection, the Museum opened Sports Legends at Camden Yards in May, 2005 in Camden Station, adjacent to Oriole Park. Orioles owner Peter Angelos donated $1,000,000 to make the Camden Station project a reality. The historic train station features many displays on the Orioles and Ruth, a full-size theatre, virtual reality exhibits and hands-on learning areas for children, including a discovery room, classrooms and much more. The Museum continues to maintain the current Babe Ruth Birthplace on Emory Street, with shuttle bus service between the sites.

ORIOLE PARK CLOSE CALLS: 72 of the 162 games (44 percent) were decided by one or two runs, with the O’s going 29-43 in those games…The O’s went 24-50 after the All-Star break but held a lead at some point in 50 of those 74 games (were outscored by just 77 runs in the final 74 games)…24 of the O’s last 49 losses were by one or two runs.

MEDIA YEAR IN REVIEW—ORIOLES IN 2009 ALL-STAR GAME: Adam Jones went 0-for-1 with a sacrifice fly and the game winning RBI at the All-Star Game in St. Louis…According to Elias, Jones, 23, is the third-youngest player with a game-winning RBI in the eighth inning or later of an All-Star Game, behind Ted Williams (1941) and Hank Blalock (2003), each of whom did it at age 22…It was Jones’ first All-Star appearance in the big leagues and he was the youngest Oriole to make the AL squad since Mike Mussina (also 23) in 1992 and the youngest O’s position player to make the squad since Cal Ripken Jr. (22) in 1983…Jones is the first O’s outfielder to appear in the Midsummer Classic since Melvin Mora in 2003…Jones more than doubled his previous career high with 19 home runs…His 19th homer came in his 400th at-bat of 2009 after he hit nine homers in 477 at-bats in 2008.

NUMBER 1 & 2: Jeremy Guthrie and Koji Uehara, the Orioles’ number one and two starters, both won their first two starts of the year…The last time the Orioles’ number one and two starters both won their first two starts was 1994 (Mike Mussina and Ben McDonald). PIE’S BIG DAY: On August 14 against Los Angeles, Felix Pie became the fourth Oriole player to hit for the cycle, joining Aubrey Huff (June 29, 2007 vs. Los Angeles), Cal Ripken Jr. (May 6, 1984 at Texas) and Brooks Robinson (June 15, 1960 at Chicago)…The Baseball Hall of Fame requested and received Pie’s spikes from the game…Pie doubled in the first inning, homered in the third inning and singled and tripled in the seventh inning…Pie’s four hits and four RBI each set career highs…Pie reached base safely in a career-high 14 straight games from August 25-September 15. IMMEDIATE IMPACT: When Nolan Reimold’s season was cut short by Achilles tendinitis on September 18, he was leading AL rookies in home runs (15), on-base percentage (.365), slugging percentage (.466), walks (47) and total bases (167)…He was 2nd in hits (100), average (.279), RBI (45), outfield assists (7) and extra-base hits (35)…He reached base in 85 of his 104 games…Reimold homered in three consecutive games May 26-28, one shy of the Orioles rookie record set by Jay Gibbons (June 17-20, 2001)…Curt Blefary (April 30-May 4, 1965) is the only other Oriole rookie to homer in three straight games…Reimold’s 11th inning walk-off three-run homer against Toronto on May 27 was the first extra innings walk-off blast by an O’s rookie since Leo Gomez on August 12, 1991 (off Chicago’s Donn Pall). THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA: On August 3 at Detroit, the first (Brian Roberts) and last (Clete Thomas) batters of the game hit home runs…According to baseball historian David Vincent, it was the 51st time in major league history that has happened and the first time in Detroit…It has happened twice in Baltimore: July 15, 1989 (Dick Schofield and Mike Devereaux) and May 4, 1999 (Ray Durham and Harold Baines). 2010 ORIOLES MEDIA GUIDE AUBREY’S BIG NIGHT: Michael Aubrey hit his first grand slam October 2 off Toronto’s Dirk Hayhurst after homering earlier in the game off Josh Roenicke…The two homers and six RBI were both career highs for Aubrey, who entered the game with two homers and eight RBI for the year. SPECIAL GUEST: Joe Biden became the third Vice President of the United States of America to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at a game in Baltimore on April 6 (Opening Day)…Richard Nixon threw out the first pitch for the Orioles’ first-ever home game on April 15, 1954 (3-1 win over Chicago) and Hubert Humphrey threw out the first pitch of the Orioles’ World Series clinching win in Game 4 over Los Angeles on October 9, 1966. ORIOLES REACH MANAGER & COACHES 2010 ORIOLES 2009 IN REVIEW MEDIA DOWN TO THE WIRE: On the final day of the season, Jeremy Guthrie pitched 7.2 innings to reach exactly 200 innings pitched for the first time in his career…Guthrie walked two batters to set a career high with 60 free passes…Nick Markakis needed one RBI to reach 100 for the second time in his career (112 in 2007) and he hit a two-run homer in the first inning…Brian Roberts needed to steal one base to reach 30 for the fourth year in a row (and fourth time in his career) and he did so in the first inning. OPPONENTS FINISHED IN A FUNK: Nick Markakis batted .211 (22-100) with five extra-base hits and 12 RBI in his last 28 games (since September 2)…In 36 games starting on August 24, Markakis batted .241 (33-137) with five doubles, three homers and 16 RBI. MINOR LEAGUES BIG BATS: On August 14 against Los Angeles, the Orioles tied a franchise record with nine doubles (also July 30, 1996 at Minnesota)…The nine doubles were the most by a team in the big leagues last year…The 12 extra-base hits (nine doubles, two triples and a homer) tied the franchise record set August 17, 2008 at Detroit…The 19 hits and 16 runs were both season highs for the O’s, with both marks being the most by the Orioles since they scored 16 runs on 22 hits at Detroit August 17, 2008…The 10-run margin of victory tied for the most of the year (also June 26 vs. Washington).

Founded in July of 1960, the Advocates are celebrating their 50th year of “Promoting and Stimulating Interest in Baseball”. Membership comprises some 75 men and women, drawn from a broad cross-section in the Baltimore area. Through the years, the Advocates have made substantial financial donations to worthy causes, primarily to baseball-oriented youth organizations; have played a key role in the restoration of Babe Ruth’s birthplace at 216 Emory Street and its conversion into the Babe Ruth/Orioles Museum; and established the Orioles Hall of Fame in 1977. The organization has also served as an essential right arm to the Orioles Public Relations, Community Relations and Marketing Departments. In that connection, the Advocates initiated the popular Junior Orioles program (now the Dugout Club) back in 1963 and administered it for 25 years. Membership rose from 75 youngsters the first year to a record 20,000 in 1977. The Oriole Advocates don’t get paid for anything they do, instead serving as volunteers that constantly demonstrate the importance of competence and dedication whenever there is a job to be done. 2010 Officers: President-Ann Peters…1st Vice President-Bob Harden…2nd Vice President-Jim Menendez…Secretary-Bill Moon…Treasurer-Rich Barnhart…Immediate Past-President-John Ross. Board of Directors: Carol Avery, Tom Cummings, Maria Aldave. ORIOLES DESIGNATED HITTERS The Baltimore Orioles Designated Hitters were established in the fall of 1979 as a volunteer sales force and designed primarily to keep baseball in Baltimore by increasing season ticket sales. The Designated Hitters (DHs) became an instrumental part of the Orioles’ organizational drive to put fans in the stands. Today, DHs work within the regional corporate community as well as small businesses, non-profit organizations, schools, local government and individual customers to sell them on the Orioles. The DH staff members participate out of passion for their hometown team and represent the Orioles as a strong volunteer sales support staff dedicated to the continuing success of the Orioles’ organization.
