The American Association Baltimore Orioles (1882- 1891) were owned and operated by beer baron Harry Von der Horst.

Did you know that the no-hitter tossed by Bill Hawke on August 16, 1893, was the first thrown at 60-feet 6-inches?

How did Harry Von der Horst feel about the Temple Cup? He once said, "This convinces me that the whole Temple Cup business has been a farce, and I shall offer a resolution — that the trophy be refunded to Mr. Temple with thanks."
