History of the Baltimore Ravens (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football franchise based in Baltimore, Maryland. They are currently members of the North Division of the American Football Conference in the National Football League. The team's name is a reference to the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, who lived and worked in Baltimore at various points during his life and is buried in the city. The Baltimore Ravens are known to be worst enemies with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are also in the North Division. The Baltimore Ravens are officially a quasi-expansion franchise, having originated in 1995 with the Cleveland Browns relocation controversy after Art Modell, then owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced his intention to relocate the team to Baltimore. Modell's team was named the "Baltimore Ravens" after a fan contest and began play in the 1996 season.
