Surhoff spent most of his time in Milwaukee, but he still put in parts of eight years with the Orioles. He improved at the plate after he joined the Orioles and stopped catching. He had his only All Star appearane with the Birds, and was part of the their 96 and 97 playoff teams. Baltimore fans love him because of his tough play and his strong desire to remain in Baltimore. He became very emotional when it was announced that he was traded to the Braves, and there was a very warm welcome for BJ when he came back for his second stint as an O!
