This page from the 1955 Sporting News Baseball Guide features the Baltimore Orioles' roster for the 1954 season. The team is portrayed in a photograph divided into three rows of players, along with coaching and training staff. The front row lists players including Brideweser, Diering, Mele, and Murray, alongside batboy G. Diering. The middle row has trainer Weidner and players such as Kennedy, Abrams, and Pilette, with coaches Oliver and Brecheen. In the back row, manager Dykes is present alongside players Coleman, Turley, and Kretlow, among others. At this time, the Orioles were part of the American League, established in 1901, and sought to build a competitive team in a challenging league. The 1954 season is historically noted for the Orioles as they aimed to improve their standings following a series of tough seasons.
