Gotta say, Gorsuch-Gate was a big letdown for all of us.
We were all hoping the word meant something fantastically cool in Hungarian or something...but it's just a street name??? Dang, that sucks.

Darren, I was thinking it might be something like a grotto, boy was I disappointed!🤣. This ole Kansas boy has been racking his brain for a few years trying to figure it out.

Gorsuch
First land patent in Baltimore vicinity was granted to Charles Gorsuch. Read the history of the family is very interesting. I’m sure the Gorsuch family is the reason for the street name. The name is of Old English origin.

Day 117 – 27 April 2024
My final Gorsuch House item is a Matchbook. The matchbook says Brooks Robinson on the front cover. On the back it says, “Your host for Maryland’s Finest Foods” with address. On the top it has a phone and the phone number. Inside it describes the restaurant with “Chilled Cocktails…Exquisite Cusine that will delight the plate of the most Exacting Gourmet, and served to you by our well experienced and friendly staff. I trust your appetite will be surfeit.” It then says, “Catering to….Dinner Parties, Cocktail Parties and Wedding Parties…Your Host Brooks Robinson.” The matchbook is in great shape with all the matches. It appears my Gorsuch House posts are not that interesting given the comments. Ha! I am hoping Scott will find that menu and donate it to me. |

Charles I like the items and finding a sign from his restaurant would be awesome. We had a restaurant in Wichita called the big leaguer. It was owned by Daryl Spencer and I found a picture of a menu that had Brooks and Boog on it. It was right after the 66 World Series. Would love to find one of those. Daryl was the one I got my Brooks hat from I told you about.

I picked up this collection of Baltimore Orioles 3x5 original photos in which some were used for the SSPC sets.

Clint, I am hooked on Brooks restaurant and sporting goods store. Hope to find more.
Scott, keep looking. Big Red Machine member, thanks for sharing the SSCP pictures. I thought I saw them on eBay recently. Did not see the Brooks otherwise may have figured what they were associated with. |

Day 118 – 28 April 2024
Today, I am showing you one of my Brooks Robinson American League Professional Baseball Clubs Annual Pass to All Parks. It is numbered 07 and says HOF. It has Brooks Robinson and Party on it for the year 2002. On the back it lists a bunch of rules. It is in a clear plastic case. It is the size of something you would slip in your wallet. You think if he showed up to a park and said he forgot it, he would be turned away? |

Wow that pass is awesome!

Brooks Robinson HoF Ceremony Pass
Day 119 – 29 April 2024
My next item is from 2011 HoF ceremony in Cooperstown, NY. This ceremony was for the induction of fellow Oriole Pat Gillick and Roberto Alomar along with Bert Blyleven. What I most like about this is I have matching passes for Brooks’ lovely wife Connie Robinson. |

Baltimore Orioles Glo Orioles Glo Visor
Day 120 – 30 April 2024
I found this a while back. This is a bright orange visor Orioles give away that says, “Glo Orioles Glo!” it is made of cardboard and 6.5 in x 9.5 in. I have a similar bumper sticker. Anyone familiar with the year and information behind this slogan? |

Brooks Robinson Sporting News 1967
Day 121 – 1 May 2024
This newspaper handout from the Sporting News celebrates the 1967 Gold Glove Awardees. It shows both the AL and NL. Brooks is featured on the top right row of players. This would be his 8th Gold Glove. Not a bad list of players (Clemente, Mays, Gibson, Yaz, fellow Oriole Blair, Kaline and Kaat). I really like the size of this fold out and the color of the Glove…Gold of course. I believe it was in the 11 Nov 67 edition. |

Baltimore Orioles Boog Powell Topps 3-D Boog Powell
Day 122 – 2 May 2024
Not Brooks, but his buddy from Key West who saved a few errant throws, Boog Powell. I was lucky to find this recently and it did not break me. 1968 Topps 3-D. The grade is authentic given a mark on the front. Does not bother me at all given how it is so rare. I use to think I would find a Brooks 3-D but probably not in the cards. |

Great Powell 3D!

Baltimore Orioles June 28, 1964 Martin Family Night Hat
Day 123 – 3 May 2024
Here is one you don’t see very often. A 1963 Memorial Stadium Martin Family Night paper hat hand out. The hat is perforated and I guess you could wear it. The game was played on June 28, 1963. Can seem to find a scored score card or ticket. Pretty cool piece. |

Thanks for showing the program, Alan.
It is unique…especially if Mark and Alan hasn’t seen. |

Brooks Robinson Mr Oriole Desk Name Plate
Day 124 – 4 May 2024
I do not have a ton of details on this desk name plate but it was used by Brooks in his home office for a number of years. It is not fancy; the paint is a little rough and so is the rest of the work. It says, “Mr. Oriole.” He signed it at the bottom with HoF 1983. It measures 11in x 3.5 in x 3 in. |

Baltimore Orioles 1973 Johnny Pro Set - Brooks Robinson
Day 125 – 5 May 2024
One of the Orioles best items kids could find at Memorial Stadium or as a mail in offer was the 1973 Johnny Pro Set. The Push-Out, Stand-Up pictures including 24 different cards of Earl Weaver and the team. Brooks appeared on 2. Several players were not included due to when they signed with the Orioles. Included in this post are both of the Brooks cards. These are both part of the PSA Master Set. I upgraded the fielding card recently. The advertisement also served as the mail order form. On the front, it shows some of the cards punched out and on the back are the details about the set and how to order one for $2.00 or $2.50…anyone know the price so I can send mine in? |
