Brooks Robinson 1992 Cracker Jacks Old Timers Game
Day 15 – 15 January 2024
My next poster features the First Annual Cracker Jack Old Timers Baseball Game at RFK Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 19, 1982 at 8:00 PM. The poster measures 18 inches X 28 inches. The program is also shown. The poster features Aaron, Brooks and Spahn with a beautiful USA flag and the Capital Building. Both rosters were loaded with HoF players including from the NL team Roberts, Spahn, Wilhelm, Campanella, Banks, McCovey, Reese, Aaron, Brock, Kiner, Mays; from the AL, HoF included Ford, Newhowser, Feller, Hunter, Kaline, Doby and of course, Brooks Robinson. Many of the above players were not yet in the HoF to include Brooksie. This is the game that 75 year old Luke Appling hit a homer off of Warren Spahn (check it out on You Tube). Can’t find the box score to see how Brooksie did that day but I am sure he was great. The small blue pennant is from the game. I believe the card is as well. Pictures of the Poster, Program, Card and Pennant included below.
