Mark,
It's a labor of love for sure. Believe it or not the Orioles themselves don't have photos of some players to appear for them. A few guys were picked up while the Orioles were on the road and released before they got back to Baltimore. As you will notice, I prefer posed or head shots over action shots, where it's difficult to see the player's face
Here are a few more toughies to find pictured as Orioles. A few had great careers after leaving Baltimore or arrived at the end of successful careers.
Lou Pinella

Dean Chance (Never actually pitched for the Orioles, but a pretty good pitcher)

Bob Oliver (played for the Orioles briefly in 1974)

Orlando Sanchez (1984)

Plus a couple of players that aren't as hard to find, but aren't associated with being Orioles.
