The Orioles franchise is one of the oldest and most respected in the league. Since moving to Baltimore in 1954, the team won three World Series and fielded several of the game's greatest players.

In the latest edition of the popular MLB Immaculate Grid, baseball fans were asked to name former O's players that reached Cooperstown.

The grid allows for players who played with the franchise before their move to Maryland and their switch to the Orioles name.

There are 34 correct answers, and while some names immediately come to mind, it is always better for the game to come up with a rare answer. Infielders Cal Ripken Jr., Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer are some of the obvious choices, but there are 31 other correct picks.
