Not at the Major League level. Babe Ruth began to play semiprofessional ball in Pennsylvania and was signed by the Baltimore Orioles (International League) in 1914. That same year he was sold as a pitcher to the Boston Red Sox of the American League. The Baltimore Orioles franchise started as the Milwaukee Brewers (1894-1901) moved to St. Louis in 1902, and became the St. Louis Browns (1902-1953) then became the Baltimore Orioles in 1954. The franchise has no relation to the Baltimore Orioles of the International League that the Babe played with.
The Baltimore Orioles were a charter member of the new American Association (later the American League) when it was formed in 1882, They played in the league through the 1902 season before it was disbanded and the St. Louis Browns took their spot in the A. L. for the 1903 season. The Browns stayed in the American League through the 1952 season. In 1953, the francise move to Baltimore and again became the Baltimore Orioles and remain there now.
