I've never seen one of those before....It's very cool...Over the years the Orioles would print various different ones that I believe were given to groups to display at their place of work, church, etc. to encourage people to sign up
I know I've shown it before but here is the dugout lineup card from that historic game (this is also the game that Brooks made his iconic catch off the bat of Johnny Bench):
'Nice pick ups Charlie…. I taught photography for 32 years…. How did they not crop out that photographer in the background of the Ripken photo is beyond me !
Scott'
I've owned one of these signed prints for years and to be honest I never really noticed the guy on the right before lol.
Anyways I know the photographer that took this picture and I reached out to him to see if he knew who that guy was...He told me it was taken on Family Day in '87 and there were a lot of people on the field that day & most likely this was someone related to one of the players...
