The Baltimore Blackbirds didn't do much in their first decade of existence, and they stayed largely irrelevant in the 1910s. They had some good teams, as they finished above .500 in 1911 and 1912, narrowly losing out on the ABC pennant to Boston in 1912. Following two losing seasons, they came out of nowhere to win the ABC pennant in 1915, advancing to their first ever World Series, where they defeated their neighbor the Washington Eagles. In 1916, they "defended" their title by finishing under .500. They have been a mediocre team ever since, finishing at or slightly above .500.
Below is their history up until this point, as well as a couple top players that are currently on their roster as of the end of the 1919 season.
