Bill,

Hope your son had a great birthday! Really like what you did with the inscription and such a cool picture.

Man those Earl pieces are awesome…

I just won this. I was looking over Brooks Robinson Auto's on Ebay for comps on a group of Brooks Robinson signatures I have up on BST ( shamless plug ...lol) and I saw this. Signatures on programs magazines etc are manytimes a great way to get autographs at reasonable prices. This one was no exception, it is not the Brooks or the Uker but the Chylak signature that makes this one stand out. I have a friend who trying to put together a collection of everyone in the Baseball HOF and Umpire Nester Chylak is moderately difficult passing away at 59 in 1982 and elected to HOF in 1999 this will be his Christmas present ( if he still needs Chylak). If not I might keep it because it screams Baltimore sports with Bagli and Thompson signatures. And I am a lifelong Colts fan carrying that tradition from my Grandfather.

Jonathan,

That’s a great looking Brooksie signature on the front cover.

Recently picked up this January 1983 program of a charity basketball game between Oriole players and members of a Hanover/York (PA) radio station (I wonder how John Shelby ended up with #22 lol):

Bill,

Nice pick up. I saw it listed, but ended up passing on it. I'm glad you ended up with it.

I do have a similar program from December 1983. The Orioles played a group from Frederick County.

1960s Orioles Bobble Heads
 

Does any one have a thorough list of all the Oriole Bobble Heads in the 1960s?

Thanks!

Charlie

I’m sure not an expert on these, but below is my listing (dates may be estimates):

Orioles Nodders

1960-61 Color Base - Green
1960’s White Base Mini
1961 Boy Face Mini
1961-62 White Base Mini
1962 Black Face
1961-63 White Base
1963-65 Black Face
1963-65 Green Base
1966-71 Gold Base

The Babe Ruth Museum puts out these well done brief "How 'Bout That" vignettes about Baltimore sports history on YouTube & the latest one has to do with what many thought was Brooks' last career game in 1976 (narrated by my buddy Bill Stetka):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8oc6Dsln8

With Cal's 61st birthday being earlier in the week I was reminded of when he signed a five year contract on his his birthday back in '92...

I was very fortunate to have a friend who was the sports director of a MD radio station and he would save me all the Orioles press release's, etc. that would cross his desk...

Kind of fun to go through them every once in awhile:

Orioles Bobbleheads
 

Hi, everyone. Mark shared with my his list of Oriole Bobbleheads from the 1960s above but here it is again (thanks, Mark):

1960-61 Color Base - Green
1960’s White Base Mini
1961 Boy Face Mini
1961-62 White Base Mini
1962 Black Face
1961-63 White Base
1963-65 Black Face
1963-65 Green Base
1966-71 Gold Base

Below are 7 / 9. The Mini White Face (Boy) is missing along with the Black Face with a Serious look. I am surprised there are no 1970 Oriole Bobbleheads...maybe someone knows.

Brooks Robinson Boxes
 

Hi, everyone. I was interested in how many different boxes Brooks appears on, which i own that are not PSA graded. Here they are. I have several more Bazooka boxes graded that are not shown. Left to right: 1962 Post Cereal unassembled, 1971 unassembled Bazooka no number, 1970 Action Cartidge, 1975 Hostess, 1970 Kellogg’s, 1970 Milk Duds, 1966 Bazooka, 1976 Hostess, 1977 Burger Chef Triple Play Funnel, 1969 Transogram, and 1964 MVP Rawlings. Always looking for more (expecially the 1964 Big 8 Rawlings Glove Box)! Enjoy.

This one?

Larry - Big 8 Rawlings Box
 

Yes…that is it if the complete box. I have the Complete Card Set graded. A second set ungraded, a Brooks panel, and a complete set of the Premium Photos. Love all things Rawlings. Thanks for showing.

Here is a press photo of Brooks shown relaxing at his locker prior to that last home game in '76 (noting the speculation that it might be his last home game as an Oriole):

https://i.imgur.com/Tz18Bck.jpg

On January 11th, 1990, Cal Ripken Jr. was awarded the very first Bart Giamatti Award (presented by the Baseball Assistance Team) for donating $250,000 for the establishment of the Life Long Learning Center, a facility aimed at helping the needs of more than 125,000 adult illiterates in Baltimore.

It was OTD in 1989 that Giamatti unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack (and only eight days after banning Pete Rose for life).

Here is a signed/inscribed cachet from that award presentation:

https://i.imgur.com/ltUSju4.jpg

It can be done in 61
 

Anyone familiar with this slogan and was it a sticker for the Orioles in the quest for their first championship?

I believe it was the Orioles theme for the 1961 season. The Orioles finished second in 1960 and hopes were high for the 1961 team.

Here's a napkin with that slogan printed on it.

Attachment 476867

1961 Napkin
 

Hi, Alan. I have the same napkin. It is very cool. I enjoy looking at it daily. That might be strange but it is on a cabinet. I hate myself for seeing a cardboard sign or sticker on eBay I past on with same saying. Saw a BW photo and the manager had the sign in his hands. I will keep looking. Thanks for sharing! BTW, chipping away at the smaller team pictures and post cards but it is slow. PSA will not grade any of the Brooks ones to add to the Master.

Hope you are well.

Charlie

Hard to believe that its been 26 years since Cal Ripken Jr. surpassed the legendary Lou Gehrig for the most consecutive games played record...

Certainly a night in my life I'll never forget.

Anyways, here is a signed/inscribed press credential from that series with the Angels...I bought it off the guy who was wearing it as he exited the stadium that night...

That seems like it just occurred. Man, time is flying. Great looking item by the way!!

Recent Brooks Robinson PSA Master Set Additions
 

Hi, everyone. A few recent additions to the Brooks PSA Master Set. These were stacked up for a few months. I tried to add the 1964 Martin Marietta Family Night hand out card and 1961 Baltimore News Post but they denied my request. Both are pretty rare so I was very disappointed. This was a large update to the set, which is now at 293 items. Top left to right is the 1974 OPC Orioles Team Card. Next,is the 1967 OPC The Champs card with Brooks, Frank and Bauer. The 1967/68 Coca Cola Caps are mostly 1 of 1s in the master. The O10s Tab, Fanta Orange, Fanta Root Beer and Fanta Grap are impossible to find. Same with the #3 Fanta Orange. The grades are not that high but good luck finding these. All of the Coca Cola Caps are 1 of 1s in the Master. Next, is one of my rarest finds...the 1970 Dayton Daily News. It received an Authentic Grade but I was very happy that they at least graded it. This is the only one graded. The 1961 Post Cereal Panel featuring Brooks is another 1 of 1. I thought the grade was low, but very excited to add it. Finally, one of my favorite sets is the 1969 Nabisco Team Flakes. This complete panel was surprisingly on ebay and thanks to Mark Comer, he pointed it out and I made an offer and won. This panel is pretty hard to find and was not so happy with the grade but at least it is now part of the Master Set. I was 100% on the Master but recently fell short on the completion with 3 additions. The 1962 Sports Service Baltimore Orioles Brooksie was added and I had one on hand and sent to PSA just today. The Brooks 1962-1965 Jap Pub Type 2 B on Cap Batting Waist View was added...I think I have that one already graded. I think it is labled wrong and asked PSA to accept it. The final addition is a 1962 Post Cereal Boyer/Boros/Brooks hand cut panel. I think this is a panel of 3 cards from a box going left to right. I can't find one nor a picture...this is what keeps me up at night. Hope you enjoyed and keep up the "posts."

Great adds Charlie! What grades did the Martin card and the Baltimore
Post get?

Brooks Robinson
 

There are some GREAT, tough to find items, right there. Glad you could pick up the Nabisco Team Flakes since I knew you were looking for that for a while. Looks great slabbed and looks far better than the grade indicates.

Of course my favorite is that ‘61 Post Panel; looks AWESOME!

Brooks cards
 

Sadly they did not grade the 61 Baltimore Post and Martin Card.

WTH, I could see maybe not adding to the register but there’s no reason not to grade them. They’ve graded everything else. Can you take it higher up the ladder? Sorry they didn’t grade them.

Didn’t they already grade one of the ‘61 Oriole Scrapbook newspaper cutouts? Those were made to cut out of the paper; they have the lines for cutting; they should grade…

Brooks Master Grading
 

I took the 64 Martin and 62 Baltimore News Post (BNP) to the National for a walk through. There was already a 62 Baltimore News Post already graded. When I picked my graded cards up the BNP ungraded I was shocked since one was already graded and part of the Registry. They told me it was graded by accident. I was livid and asked to talk to someone but like a dictatorship, no appeal process. They said the Martin card had no reference despite research I gave them. Again…I was miffed.

That glove box is beautiful. Do you have a mint glove in there?

I would be upset too if I was in the registry game. Especially with the time and money you’ve used to accumulate past and present pieces. There’s absolutely no reason not to grade them. They’ve graded paper cutouts before and the Martin cards are certainly cards and genuine. I’d keep trying and maybe contact the top dog if you can get ahold of him. Hopefully something turns up on the way the Martin cards were distributed. Wish we had some old Martin plant newsletters.

The Martin Family Night set was issued as a stadium giveaway. The game was in conjunction with Martin Family Night. I believe the game was held on July 17, 1964; I think Alan may have the program if I’m not mistaken.

Martin Family Night Program
 

Mark, (I am being a little mean but that set is so rare and a treasure) a 20something year old at the National told me to provide more details and maybe they would grade it. He was the customer facing person that would go between me and the Senior grader. i asked to see the Senior grader but that was not going to happen. The program might help with my background information. i would like to try again. We'll see. Thanks.

Charlie,

That's very disappointing. You would think that they would put a little effort into customer service.

Here's the program from 1964. The Orioles hosted Martin Family nights from 1963-1967. I have the company flyer for the 1967 game, but not 1964.

Attachment 479377

I’d just like to know how they were distributed. With approximately 22,600 in attendance, did everyone get a set or each family? Were they given out to select winners? There were either 22,600 sets made or if each family averaged around 4, 5600 sets. If special give aways then who knows? So from those sets less than a handful are known today?
Were regular people also able to attend the game or only Martin employees? This would skew the number of sets too.
Alan do you have any pics of the inside of your program?

Clint,

I don't have definite answers to your questions, but do have some theories. I doubt very much that the cards were given out to regular fans, since so few have surfaced. Most likely only to Martin employees attending the game and I have no idea how many that might have been.

I do have a flyer from the 1967 game, but nothing from 1964. The 1967 flyer mentions that someone in each dept will have tickets available for purchase. It also mentions several Orioles players visiting the company cafeterias to promote sales and several contests that employees could enter related to the game.

My guess is the 1964 cards were either distributed as part of the ticket sales promotion at the company or part of a gift bag given to Martin employees attending the game.

Anyone know a Martin employee from the 1960's??

1967 Martin Family Night Flyer

Martin Family
 

Alan, thanks and understood. Much appreciated. The 1967 flyer is a nice item. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your reply Alan. There is a Martin museum in Maryland. I found a web site and sent them a question asking about the cards. They may know someone that used to work there and I’ll relay any information that they give me. Cross our fingers and hope they can add something. That 67 flyer is pretty cool and thanks for sharing.

Good afternoon,

I grew up right next to Martin Marietta (literally in walking distance). I took my wife to the Martin Museum around Christmas 2019 when they had a Train Garden to raise money for the place. Since Lockheed bought it, they've been selling off all of the old Martin materials. I do mean selling. They had turned the library into an area to go through all of the old books and materials for sale (I'm assuming after they had gone through to make sure items weren't classified). I went through everything looking for anything about the old Orioles nights and came up empty. Everyone in the place was in their 20s but maybe they know some old Martin employees or have some in the family?

Alan, thanks for posting the 1967 Family Night Poster,

Mike

For anyone interested, here are the other Martin Family Night programs from 1963, 1965, 1966 and 1967. The later ones mention prizes on the front, but I'm not aware of any other cards, except for 1964.

Well that goal was reached this past Thursday evening...He nailed it and has already been asked to come back in '22 (hopefully in front of a larger crowd):

1970 Hearst All Star Game Wooden Plaque
 

Good monring, everyone. I recently found this item and thought it was too cool to pass up on. When I found it, I was not aware of the history or purpose of the annual all star games. My research is limited but found a few hits on google. The most helpful article was from SABR. The SABR article talks about the annual games in NYC. So...my research is a bit limited but the Hearst Sandlot Classic for 20 years offered a showcase for young baseball talent. Many of those who participated signed professional contracts and others were able to obtain scholarships to further their education. Hearst News Papers around the country sponsored the games. The Hearst family owned the Baltimore News Post. The NYC All Stars played a game annually against All Stars from the rest of the country. They played in different venues. Apparently the Orioles hosted a game for 11 years. The game in Baltimore at Memorial Stadium in 1970 appears to be the last. The plaque is wood and has two spots in white (either side of the bird) that were changed annually with the number of the game being played (11th) and a name of a person that must have hosted the game (John Gilmore; I beieve he was a former executive with WBAL in Baltimore but could be mistaken). The game was played at Memorial Stadium I believe in August of 1970. This particular game has an article written about it on July 26, 1970 by the Cumberland Times. It is in an archive you can subscribe to. Anyway, i thought it was an interesting item that will probably resonate with some of you. Please let us know if you have any details to share. Have a great Sunday.

I realize I posted this a year ago, but today (unbelievably) marks the 10 year anniversary of "Game 162."

I generally don't go to weeknight games due to the driving distance, but I had a rain check that I had to use or lose so I called my son the night before & asked him if he wanted to go to the last game of the season...Fortunately, he agreed and one of our Baltimore area friends met us there...

There was a long rain delay (86 minutes to be exact) and when they resumed play the Orioles said you could sit anywhere you wanted & fortunately we chose seats in left field probably 100 feet or so from the Red Soxs' Carl Crawford (who was unable to handle Robert Andino's game winning liner)...I'll never forget watching the Orioles players celebrate & Papelbon and the rest of the Sox players walking off the field when the Jumbo Tron suddenly switched to the action in St. Pete & showing Longoria hitting his walk off HR thus eliminating Boston from the post season...

The only thing I can compare it to was like New Years Eve as we left Camden Yards that night 'high fiving' everyone (including the on duty cops) and headed over to Sliders (our favorite bar outside the park) who was serving free Natty Bohs...Needless to say I didn't get home until 4:30 AM..

I keep score at all the games I attend, so here is my scorecard which over the years I've had signed on the cover by all the key participants of that ninth inning (Reimold, Davis, Kyle Hudson & of course Robert Andino):

https://i.imgur.com/YaVF28M.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/RE6pCr4.jpg

Such a great memory, and it's awesome that you have the scorecard from the game.

I was at the game as well. Went on a whim with my wife's cousin. We left during the rain delay, as I had to be at work at 5:00am! The timing worked out perfectly though, as I got home in time to see the crazy endings.

12:05am Andino's hit to win it!
12:08am Longoria's HR to send Tampa to the playoffs and Boston home!
12:36am St. Louis clinched their spot as well.

One of my favorite baseball memories for sure!

1972-1974 Orioles Ephemera
 

Good morning,

I recently picked up Orioles items from someone from South Dakota who was in contact with the Orioles from between 1972-1974. There were very nice condition schedules, bumper stickers, a Bobby Grich postcard, and various paper items. The most interesting to me was a pamphlet advertising the 1st Annual Orioles Art Contest, sponsored by Equitable Trust. There was also a form letter with facsimile autographs of the Orioles at the time, including Brooks. Not pictured are the many Orioles newsletters from between 1972-74. All of this came in one of the original mailing envelopes from the Orioles.

Nice pickup…

Brooks Game Used
 

Anyone else collect Brooks game used items? I have a couple bats. Looking for his helmet (I know...good luck), a jersey (I know...expensive) and a hat. A boy can dream. Here is a mid 60s bat and his last year bat. Both game used and signed.

Charlie,

As you know “I kinda do” collect Brooks GU, but just don’t have much. Those items your looking for are definitely out there. I believe I mentioned this, but just be aware of fakes on the jerseys. I know people can fake the caps and bats as well, but have seen several non GU jerseys in my time collecting.

Can you get some close up photos of the two bats? Hard to see in the pic attached.

I believe that Bill has a GU cap, but I’m sure he’s going to donate it to me one day…

1966 Junior Baseball Federation Program
 

Good afternoon,

Last year Mark posted some broadsides from a couple of times the Orioles played the Phillies in the Junior Baseball Federation charity game. I recently found a program from the 1966 game that also featured the O's. There's a nice photo of the 1966 team and some photos of Brooks and Frank.

Mike,

Very cool program. I think Alan may have examples of when the Orioles played in this exhibition game as well. I tried to start a spreadsheet of all the games, dates and who the Phillies played, but I didn’t get very far. I really need one of those subscriptions to the newspapers and do a search that way. I really was just looking for the years they played the O’s, but got carried away.

I was sorry to learn this evening of the passing of Eddie Robinson who was MLB's oldest living player at the age of 100.

Eddie played 13 seasons with seven different clubs including a handful of games for the Orioles late in the 1957 season (and later coached and scouted for them).

He also owned a restaurant with Brooks Robinson near Memorial Stadium (Gorsuch House).....

About 10 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting him in Horsham (PA) at an event organized by the Philadelphia A's Historical Society & they produced a special Hartland statue of him for the occasion (which I had signed).

RIP Eddie

https://i.imgur.com/gQLWYdN.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/7HlahNF.jpg

Good morning Bill,

I was also very sorry to hear of Mr. Robinson's passing. My wife is from Detroit and is a Tigers fan and Mr. Robinson was kind enough to sign a 1957 Topps card to her.

The Philadelphia A's Historical Society unfortunately closed a couple of years after that event, before I had an opportunity to visit.

That Hartland Eddie Robinson is a great piece.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the last Orioles game at Memorial Stadium. For anyone that was there, I'm sure you could agree it was an unforgettable, emotional Fall afternoon.

Ironically, the last outs of the game came when (somewhat fittingly) Cal Ripken Jr. bounced into a double play off Frank Tanana of the Tigers....

Signed 16x20 of that last play:

https://i.imgur.com/t3sVse3.jpg

Bill,

I didn’t hear about his passing till your note. Thanks for informing; we’re losing so many of the O’s of the past.

Hi guys,

I just arrived in Sarasota for the winter, so I was off the grind for a few days and getting caught up on some of the posts.

Anyone traveling in the Sarasota area, give me a shout. Would love to meet other O's fans. If you can find Ed Smith Stadium, you're close...

Mark,

From my research, the Junior BB Federation game started in 1948. From 1948-1954, the Phillies played their crosstown rivals, the Philadelphia A's. No info on the opponents from 1955-1963. I know the Orioles played the Junior BB Federation game from 1964-1966 and 1970-1972. I'm guessing the Orioles might have played before 1964 and in 1967-1969, but haven't found anything to confirm that. From 1973-1979, the Phillies played a variety of NL teams. 1973 (Reds), 1974 (Mets), 1975 (Cards), 1976 (Braves), 1977 (Expos), 1978 (Cards) and 1979 (Pirates).

Here's the 1964, 1965 and 1972 programs. I also have the 1966 program, but still looking for the 1970, 1971 programs and any other years the Orioles were involved.

Alan,

Thanks so much! I updated my spreadsheet so now I have the actual dates for the games listed on your programs. If you happen to locate more please let me know.

I’m off on some of the years/dates currently on the spreadsheet especially from the 19th Annual going into the 20th Annual Jr. BB game unless they skipped 1967. It would be cool to have all the games and dates listed.

Does anyone have one of those newspaper subscriptions where you can search the newspapers? Figure the papers in PA would definitely have the dates and the team that played in the paper.

[QUOTE=Mark70Z;2152534]Forgot to mention the 24th Annual BB Fed game. Unsure of that one as well…

Mark,

Here are the dates of the games that I know the Orioles participated.

July 27, 1964 (17th Annual Game)
July 14, 1965 (18th Annual Game)
July 13, 1966 (19th Annual Game)
June 8, 1970 (23rd Annual Game)
May 13, 1971 (24th Annual Game)
May 8, 1972 (25th Annual Game)

I don't think they skipped the 1967 game, but not sure who the Phillies played. My understanding is that 1979 was the last official game and after that the format changed.

I have the small broadside for the Monday, June 8th game, but states 22nd Annual Jr. Fed game, not the 23rd (believe it’s for ‘70). Do you have the program for this one?

Mark,

Interesting. I don't have the 1970 or 1971 programs, but do have the 1972 (posted earlier). The 1972 program says 25th Anniversary and not actually 25th Annual game like the others I have. So maybe you're right and a year was skipped.

Orioles Bumper and Miscellaneous Stickers
 

Morning! Anyone else collect Oriole Stickers? I have a few. Surprisingly, they are hard to find. Ebay has a lot of other stickers from the 1990s and later, but can't seem to find many from the 1970s. The local radio stations use to hand these out for free. Some of these are easier to place with a year than others. I am looking for any with the older Bird, particularly the Angry Bird from mid 1970s. Always looking for more if anyone has any laying around. Show your stickers if you have a cool vintage one not shown here.
