How the Baltimore Orioles roster timeline game works

Orioles players make up the deck, and you arrange them by the year each one joined the franchise. One player begins on the line with his year showing. Each card you draw lists a name and a position, perhaps relief pitcher or center fielder, and you choose the gap he fits. A right choice reveals the year. A wrong one still drops him into his true place and costs you one of three lives.

Before Baltimore, this franchise was the St. Louis Browns, and the earliest cards come from those St. Louis teams, which will be unfamiliar to most fans. The Baltimore years start after a sizable gap and grow crowded around the great teams and the long-tenured stars. Relief pitchers make up an unusually large group. The trickiest cards are Baltimore lifers, who often joined well before their best seasons.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
