With the shackles of war-time baseball cast off, in 1950, under manager Nick Cullop, Baltimore won the league championship, only to lose the "Junior World series" to the Columbus Red Birds of Ohio, four games to one.

After the 1953 season, the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore and took the name of the Baltimore Orioles. The last minor league/International League Orioles team (of 1916–1953), re-located to Richmond, this time as the Richmond Virginians from 1954–64, later relocating as today's Toledo Mud Hens franchise in northwest Ohio since 1965.

This 1950 Baltimore Orioles opening day ticket measures roughly 3.5" x 6" and has 4 crescent shaped holes punched in it, which are assumed to show that the ticket was used. The ticket features a baseball design at the top and home schedule on the back. This ticket is unripped.
