Alan, I never knew those posters existed. Thank you for sharing them.
Bill, I can't believe you found the original Eutaw St. Ripken O's HOF sign on Craigslist! Do you consider that your luckiest find ever?
I first started following the Orioles in 1988, of course the infamous year they started 0-21. The very next year was one of the most exciting in my life when the Why Not O's went to the final weekend battling for first place (I was CRUSHED they lost).
Here is a phantom 1989 Orioles World Series press pin:
