For Those of You Visiting Camden Yards This Summer.....
 

Last winter the Orioles reached out to me with "holes" in their list of items they wanted to display in their main concourse exhibit cases (right inside the main entrance) to present memorabilia related to their 1983 World Championship club (this being the 40th Anniversary)..Obviously, I was honored to be thought of and for the most part came through with everything they were looking for.....

On loan from my collection include:
-Game used helmets of Eddie Murray & Series MVP Rick Dempsey
-Game used jerseys of Dan Ford & Storm Davis
-Game used cap of Mike Boddicker
-Game used bat of John Shelby
-Commemorative LS Black Bat

Bill very impressive, Congrats!
40 years flies by quick!

Wow! That's really cool. Congrats.

I’ll check them out. I’ll be there in a few weeks.

Outstanding, Bill! Congrats! :cool:
What a great opportunity to share part of your great collection with the fans!

Hi Bill, great stuff. Congrats. I'm hoping to make it up to Balmer for a game later this summer. Haven't been in several years. If I get there I'll check out the display for sure.

Great display Bill! Not sure how I missed this the first time around.

Very cool! Congrats!

I have a few game used items on display in the Yankees museum, so I know just what an honor it is. After the loan is over, see if they’ll give you any of the placards or labels, etc. great provenance to keep with the items after, as the exhibit is such a special event that your items are now tied to.

Outstanding, Bill! That is some killer game-used memorabilia. How great that the O's reached out to you, and that you are sharing it with the public. Great stuff!

Thanks for all the kind words...It actually started back in '19 when the Orioles were filling a display case on their executive floor in the warehouse commemorating (among other things) the 30th Anniversary of their infamous 1989 "Why Not" season...A buddy of mine who works for the club & is aware of my collection asked if I had anything to contribute & fortunately I own the set of lineup cards from one of the most memorable games that took place that season (ironically the game which eliminated them in Toronto the final weekend)....

Anyways, from what I was told that display was very popular with their exec's, etc. so they decided to install cases on the concourse for more people to enjoy...

Very nice Bill!

Bill,

LOVE IT! I haven’t been to Camden in a few years. Would love to see those displays.

Thanks for sharing…
