They failed to improve on their y 74 88 record from the previous year with a 63–98 record, and missed the postseason for the 4th straight season. It would also be the final season for Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. Offseason October 5, 2000: Trenidad Hubbard was released by the Baltimore Orioles.https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hubbatr01.shtml Trent Hubbard Stats - Baseball-Reference.com Baseball-Reference.com April 21, 2018 December 20, 2000: Mike Bordick was signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles.https://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bordimi01.shtml Mike Bordick Stats - Baseball-Reference.com Baseball-Reference.com April 21, 2018 Regular season 95pxCalRipken Jr.SS, 3BRetired 2001 In June 2001, Cal Ripken Jr. announced that he would retire at the end of the season. He was voted the starting third baseman in the All-Star game at Safeco Field on July 10, 2001, in Seattle. In a tribute to Ripken's achievements and stature in the game, shortstop Alex Rodriguez (unknowingly foreshadowing his own future) insisted on exchanging positions with third baseman Ripken for the first inning, so that Ripken could play shortstop as he had for most of his career. In the third inning, Ripken made his first plate appearance and was greeted with a standing ovation. Ripken then homered off the first pitch from Chan Ho Park. Ripken ended up with All-Star MVP honors. The Howard Street Tunnel fire began a few blocks away from Camden Yards during an Orioles doubleheader on July 18. The stadium was evacuated after that day's first game.Rivera, John, and Kimberly A.C. Wilson. "Baseball fans and commuters held hostage by road closings", Baltimore Sun, July 19, 2001, page 10A. The second game of the doubleheader and the games scheduled to be played on July 19 and 20 were all postponed, with play at Camden Yards resuming on July 21.November 2005 Report to Congress: Baltimore's Railroad Network: Challenges and Alternatives http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/RRDev/brn1.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20060927070440/http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/RRDev/brn1.pdf September 27, 2006 Federal Railroad Administration Ripken's #8 was retired by the Baltimore Orioles in a ceremony before the final home game of the 2001 season. Ripken's final game was originally set to be played at Yankee Stadium; however, all Major League Baseball games from September 11 to 17 were postponed due to the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. The Orioles were at home during the attacks, so the games missed were added on to the end of the season's schedule, which changed the location of Ripken's final game to Oriole Park, much to the delight of Orioles fans. Cal Ripken ended his career in the on deck circle in the bottom of the ninth inning. Longtime teammate Brady Anderson, also playing in his last game for the Orioles, swung and missed a fastball high and tight on a 3–2 count to end the game. In his final season, Ripken had the lowest zone rating of all major league third basemen (.734).January 2025 medicmedic Opening Day starters Brady Anderson Mike Bordick Delino DeShields Brook Fordyce Jerry Hairston Jr. Pat Hentgen Melvin Mora Chris Richard Cal Ripken Jr. David Seguihttps://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/roster.php?y=2001&t=BAL 2001 Baltimore Orioles Roster Baseball Almanac, Inc.
