They were also briefly referred to as the Baltimore Black Orioles, though by the time the 1942 season began they were renamed the Grays.[2]In 1945, the Baltimore Grays were briefly mentioned in the press as a member of the United States League,[3] yet the club does not appear in any standings in 1945 or 1946.[4]
