I was going to post this item for one of the days this year, but with Clint's great Belanger jersey it just brings back wonderful memories of the great Oriole teams back in the day and "the Blade" was definitely one of my favorites.
This is a small handout of a Bethlehem Family Night game held on June 12, 1970 where the Orioles played the Oakland Athletics (is this just a cool shot or what). As a side note Mudcat Grant was the winning pitcher of this game at Memorial. When I think of Mudcat (great nickname by the way; anybody know where the name came from? If not, a teammate nicknamed him Mudcat because he thought he was from Mississippi). Anyway, when I think of him I think of his 1972 A's card with his mutton-chop sideburns and the great color contrast between the green A's jersey and the red on the Topps card.

The back of the program is very nice as well and pictures a grouping of Oriole players.
