The latest members of the Baltimore Orioles all left their mark on the franchise, helping lead the team to success and helping establish a culture inside the organization. Terry Crowley and Nick Markakis will be honored with an on-field ceremony on Aug. 24 prior to the team's matchup against the Houston Astros.

Three-time Gold Glove Award winner Nick Markakis spent nine of his 15 MLB seasons with the Orioles, becoming a fan-favorite during that time. The former outfielder made a name for himself on the defensive side of the field, yet he remains inside the top 10 in a number of the team's batting records, including sitting seventh all-time in hits with 1,547.

Although he was unable to help the Orioles win the World Series, Nick Markakis was a key figure on several strong Baltimore squads. He will now find himself in the club's Hall of Fame next to former teammates Melvin Mora, Brian Roberts, and J.J. Hardy.

Terry Crowley served as both a player and coach with the Baltimore Orioles

Following his playing career, Crowley served as a hitting coach. He had two different stints as the team's hitting coach, working alongside Nick Markakis in Baltimore.

Dick Bowie is the third new inductee into the Orioles Hall of Fame
