My parents know this and picked this 1988 Olde Philadelphia Inn (OPI) Boot up for me at a yard sale.
Does anyone know if this was an SGA item or if the OPI made some of these for the restaurant?
Thanks!

It wasn't given out at Memorial Stadium so it must have been something that one got at the OPI that day.
I've never seen it before, it's pretty cool...
As an aside, the Orioles lost 12-0 that day (game #1 of what would be 21) and when I got home that night my wife asked me if I saw anything postive from the Orioles in the loss.
I remember replying sarcastically "Well they did block both both extra points." lol
