The 2000 Baltimore Orioles season involved the Orioles finishing 4th in the American League East with a record of 74 wins and 88 losses.
Offseason
- December 7, 1999: Doug Linton was released by the Baltimore Orioles.[1]
- December 10, 1999: Jesse Orosco was traded by the Baltimore Orioles to the New York Mets for Chuck McElroy.[2]
- December 22, 1999: Buddy Groom was signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles.[3]
Regular season
- Cal Ripken, Jr.'s 1999 season ended early due to injury when he was only 9 hits away from joining the 3,000 hit club. He finally achieved the milestone early in the 2000 season when he singled off reliever Héctor Carrasco in a game against the Minnesota Twins on April 15, 2000 in the Metrodome. Ripken had a good night at the plate, getting three hits, the third of which was the milestone. The Twins distributed a commemorative certificate to the fans as they left the Metrodome after the game.
- On October 1, 2000, Albert Belle hit a home run in the last at-bat of his career.[4]
