I forgot to include the fact Frank Robinson as a player was a winner. Two World Series wins, several divisional titles. I believe he was the main reason the Orioles became the dominant team of the mid 60s to early 70s.

Granted, they did have some other excellent players including a guy named Brooks Robinson but it wasn't until Frank was traded to the Orioles, after the Reds thought he was an old 31 year old player, that the Orioles stepped it up and were the team to beat in the AL for several years after.
