Baltimore Orioles Sign 25 Years
Day 33 – 2 February 2024
The next sign is from News American in 1979 celebrating 25 years of the Orioles. The sign is black with white and orange letters saying “It’s the…Orioles 25th Year.” It then says “Celebrate with News American” at the bottom. I imagine this was the face of their vending machine around the city dispensing their newspaper. The sign is made of cardboard and measures 16 inches by 9 inches. By the way, the Baltimore News-American newspaper was published in downtown Baltimore until May 27, 1986. It had a continuous lineage (in various forms) of more than 200 years. For much of the mid-20th century, it had the largest circulation in the city.
