Eddie Weidner joined the minor league Orioles as a 14-year-old scoreboard operator in 1916 and became head trainer in 1922, a position he held for 45 years. He became the major league Orioles' trainer in their first season in 1954 and remained in that position for 14 years. Although he had no formal medical training, he experimented with batting helmets and had players use golf gloves to prevent bruises long before those practices become the norm.
