The Baltimore Orioles at play during a home game at Memorial Stadium in 1991.

The 1991 Baltimore Orioles season was a season in American baseball. It involved the Orioles finishing sixth in the American League East with a record of 67 wins and 95 losses. Cal Ripken. Jr. would be the first shortstop in the history of the American League to win two MVP awards in a career.[1] This was also the Orioles' last year at Memorial Stadium, as they would move into Oriole Park at Camden Yards the following year.

  • July 13, 1991, Bob Milacki, Mike Flanagan, Mark Williamson and Gregg Olson combined for a no-hitter versus the Oakland Athletics.[10]

  • Cal Ripken Jr. won the Gold Glove in 1991 after missing out in 1990 even though he set the single season record for both the fewest errors by a shortstop (3) and also the record for most total chances in a single season.
