Conceived in 1977 by the Oriole Advocates with the encouragement and cooperation of the Orioles, Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson were the inaugural inductees of the Hall of Fame.
Each year, the Oriole Advocates Hall of Fame Committee oversees the process of creating ballots containing the leading candidates for election to the Hall of Fame. Ballots are mailed to members of the Oriole Advocates, prominent media members, members of the Oriole front office, and current Hall of Fame members. The nominee receiving at least 60% of the votes cast is elected to membership in the Hall of Fame.

The Orioles Hall of Fame
Luncheon
Each year, the Oriole Advocates host an Orioles Hall of Fame Luncheon to honor those elected to the Hall of Fame and celebrate significant events in Orioles history. Past Luncheons have celebrated championship anniversaries, historic moments, and Hall of Fame inductions. For 48 years, the Orioles Hall of Fame Luncheon hosted by the Oriole Advocates have remained a fan-favorite tradition and a highlight for alumni and supporters alike.
In addition to electing members into the Orioles Hall of Fame, the Oriole Advocates presents three awards annually to deserving members of the Orioles baseball community.
