===Baltimore and New York===
Robinson and McGraw joined as business partners in the [[Baltimore Orioles (1901–02)|Baltimore Orioles]], a team that would debut in the new [[American League]] (AL) in 1901.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1900-11-13 |title=Baseball Deal Made |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-baltimore-sun-baseball-deal-made/163470101/ |access-date=2025-01-20 |work=The Baltimore Sun |page=6 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref> McGraw served as player-manager of the AL Orioles in 1901 and the beginning of the 1902 season, at which point he departed to the [[New York Giants (NL)|New York Giants]]. There were rumblings of a move to [[New York City]] to counter the Giants to help the fledgling League before the season had started, but nothing came to pass yet. The 1902 season was the last for the Orioles in the American League. Robinson took over after McGraw had gone 26–31 to manage the last 83 games. He won 24 while losing 57 (with two ties). The team had been plagued by debt suffered by owner [[John Mahon (baseball)|John Mahon]]. [[Andrew Freedman]] and [[John T. Brush]], principal owners of the Giants and [[Cincinnati Reds]], respectively, purchased the team and raided the roster by releasing certain players to be claimed by the two teams. A.L President [[Ban Johnson]] seized control of the Orioles not long after and loaned several players from other A.L teams, but the damage was done.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Thorn |first=John |date=5 August 2018 |title=The House That McGraw Built |url=https://ourgame.mlblogs.com/the-house-that-mcgraw-built-2bf6f75aa8dc |access-date=2025-01-20 |website=Our Game MLBlog}}</ref> After the season, McGraw enticed Robinson to be his pitching coach from 1903 to 1913 (although he would also do some coaching at third base), during which time the Giants won five NL pennants and a [[World Series]] title in 1905. As for the Orioles, they moved to [[1903 New York Highlanders season|New York]] for 1903. An argument between the two after the [[1913 World Series]] over alleged bad coaching by either man in a saloon (meant to reunite old Oriole teammates) meant the beginning of a feud between the two that never formally healed, and Robinson left to manage Brooklyn in 1914.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wilbert Robinson |url=https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/robinson-wilbert |access-date=2025-01-20 |website=Baseball Hall of Fame}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Semchuck |first=Alex |title=Wilbert Robinson |url=https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/wilbert-robinson/ |access-date=2025-01-20 |website=Society for American Baseball Research}}</ref>
