Nevermind their minor league status. Between 1919 and 1925, the Orioles won 777 games, averaging 111 victories a year. Many of those Orioles would later flourish in the majors, and four (Hall of Famer Lefty Grove, Max Bishop, Joe Boley and George Earnshaw) would star for the world champion Philadelphia A's of 1929 and 1930. Also, Jack Bentley, whom the Orioles sold to the New York Giants for a then-staggering $72,000, pitched that team to a 1924 World Series victory over Hall of Famer Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators.
