The Bluefield Orioles are a minor league affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, representing the twin cities of Bluefield, West Virginia and Bluefield, Virginia. It plays in the Appalachian League, a Rookie League whose players are mostly newly-signed professionals.
Bluefield's link with the Orioles is the oldest continuous affiliation with the same major-league franchise in Minor League Baseball, dating back to 1958.
The Bluefield Orioles play their home games at Bowen Field, a historic stadium (opened in 1939) in Bluefield's city park. The park straddles the Virginia-West Virginia state line, and is operated by the West Virginia city; however, Bowen Field lies entirely within Virginia.
