If and when Major League Baseball announces the Expos move to Washington D.C. The Orioles Manager said he would like to see the Orioles moved to the National League and the Expos (or whatever they will be called) moved to the American League. The Orioles have been an American League team since moving from St.Louis in 1954. In an interview before yesterdays game with the Tigers Mazzilli mentioned how the Milwaukee Brewers moved from the A.L. to the N.L. in 1998, a move that fans in Milwaukee seemed to embrace. The Orioles two biggest draws are the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, a move to the N.L. means they would only be able to play those teams during inter-league play, Mazzilli suggests that the Orioles would be a rival with the Philadelphia Phillies in the N.L. East, and could also create a rivalry with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It's uncertain to say but, i'm not sure how Baltimore fans would react to such a move, i mean why would you want to see the Red Sox or Yankees when you could see the Phillies and Pirates?.
Orioles fans feel free to respond.
On a side note, the move would not be surprise for Washington as both incarnations of the Washington Senators were American League teams (of course, both teams ended up leaving), maybe three will be their lucky number.
