We present an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pair creation (uu(bar sign), dd(bar sign) and ss(bar sign)) are taken into account in an explicit form via a microscopic, QCD-inspired, quark-antiquark creation mechanism. It is shown that, while the inclusion of the qq(bar sign) pairs does not affect the baryon magnetic moments, it leads to a sizeable contribution of the orbital angular momentum to the spin of the proton.
