Game Used and Prototype Baltimore Orioles Pants
Day 362 – 27December 2024
I meant to share these earlier but today I am showing you two items from what I believe is the early 1970s. First, I have a pair of game worn pants from 1970 season worn by who I think is Jim Frey, the former Orioles hitting coach (1970-1979); he later had success with the KC Royals and Chicago Cubs as manager. If you look closely in the waistline, you see number 41 and a F, which was Frey’s number and believe his first initial last name. The bright orange pants are from 1970 when we had our four 20-game winners and won the World Series. The size is 34. Not sure what the 73 M16 means. I really like the Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Label. I am not sure the belt is part of the uniform. Next, I have what I understand as a prototype uniform that belonged to Brooks Robinson. The pants are of a salmon color. Size 36 with a lable that says 5 15 then hand written has PT 65. I assume the 5 is for Brooks and PT is prototype. They are signed by Brooks Robinson. I am sure someone on here can comment about both sets of pants. Very interested in the details on the prototype colored pants.
