Orioles were one of the teams that had forward-thinking front office people. Weaer knew the sort of team he needed and went out and got it.
Much like the Cardinals of the 80's, with Whitey Herzog. He/they tailored their lineup to take advantage of the fast turf they had there. I forget who, but they had a guy lead that team with 10 maybe 15 homers, and the same guy knocked in over 100. Tommy Herr maybe. But still, a similar situation.
