Brooks did appear on the cover of a few spring training programs in the 60's, that I'll post once spring training starts.
This one is from when the Orioles trained in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Inside of the scorecard. Brooks is wearing #40.
This one is from the end of spring training when the Orioles played the Dodgers in Baltimore.

Alan,
You have some great items. Thanks so much for posting your programs.
I try to find photos of Brooks in different number jerseys, but I haven’t been very successful. Never seen Brooks in #40 that I can recall.
