Inscription.
Paul Richards, during his first four years as manager/general manager, engineered the Orioles rapid growth from perennial loser to consistent contender. The Orioles' 30-year record from 1960 through 1989, the best in the major leagues by 8 games over the 2nd best team in that era, was a Paul Richards legacy.
