It also made me think, are there any other players, that played only briefly for the Orioles, but are remembered for a moment in O's history? I'm guessing Tito Landrum would be #1 on that list.
Ryan Minor comes to mind for replacing Cal Ripken, when the streak ended.
I would like to hear any thoughts from you.

I'll nominate pitcher Dave Johnson who was pressed into service after Pete Harnisch stepped on a rusty nail the night before a key start in Toronto by pitching seven strong innings & leaving the game with a 3-1 lead in the 8th inning.
Here is the plate umpire's lineup card from that memorable game as well as a display of the '89 Why Not? season located in the Orioles executive offices in 2019...The Orioles borrowed it and placed it inside the case...
