I don't know about you guys, but I really like the first year Oriole jerseys. It may be because you just don't see them that often; just cool looking in my eyes. Of course I LOVE the jerseys after the first year as well!
Also, I enjoy seeing pictures of players in Oriole jerseys wearing the number of a player that is remembered for wearing that jersey number. In this instance you have Fitzgerald wearing #19 and I just associate that number with McNally. I still haven't seen a picture of an Oriole, other than Brooks, wear #5 (except Frank for a photo when he first arrived in B'more). I know there were a few prior to Brooksie to do so.
