Question
In reference to the current team, Who were they prior to moving to Baltimore, and in what year?

Answer
The current Baltimore Orioles franchise has been in existence since 1901.  That year, they played in Milwaukee and were known as the Milwaukee Brewers.  Then they moved, and from 1902-1953, they played in St. Louis and were known as the St. Louis Browns.  Finally, in 1954 they changed their name to the Orioles and moved to Baltimore, where they have played ever since.

Hope this helps.
