This came out of the old Milwaukee County Stadium, I love how the name/number is hand painted (the 1973 press photo shows the nameplates in the background)....

Bill, that locker room name tag is amazing. Cool you have the press photo. Keep me in mind if you stop liking it. Incredible piece. Would love to hear how that one found you. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing again Bill. That is one great Brooksie piece.

Day 261 – 18 September 2024
I am not much of a wine drinker but when I do indulge, why not include Brooks Robinson. You can zoom in on the photo to see the details.

Day 262 – 19 September 2024
I will not likely ever find one of Brooks Robinson’s Gold Gloves but here is a replica with his signature and “16 Gold Gloves” inscription. This mini glove displays nicely.

Day 263 – 20 September 2024
We’ll see how this goes but for the next couple weeks I will display Oriole Pennants from the 1950s through Brooks Playing Days till the 1983 WS. Today, here are a few Pennants from the 1950s and 1960s. I enjoy the color variations. My favorites are the small Black one to the left and the Orange one 3d from left. I also like the 1954 Scroll Pennant featuring the first year players. The scroll pennant is pretty hard to find. Hope everyone will enjoy the pennants.

Day 264 – 21 September 2024
Today I am showing you the first pennant I am aware of with the Oriole team photo. This one is from 1960. It is not in the best shape.Attachment 635240

I wanted to share this snap I grabbed from the Philly show. It shows Billy Hunter in the Os Inaugural season of 1954, his only year as an oriole actually. Billy is still alive at 96 today.

I've found being a collector of snaps that the Orioles during the 50s are probably the toughest to find of any team. Maybe because they were a new team and all. But I believe this is my first of an O from the 50s. If you have any old Os snaps available please lmk. Hope you all enjoy.

Day 265 – 22 September 2024
Here is the 1961 Pennant featuring the Orioles team again.

Thanks for sharing; love the snap of Billy Hunter. Even though he was a coach when I was growing up he still was one of my favorites.

I probably have a few O’s snaps stored in boxes “somewhere”. I’m probably not like most guys here that are at least somewhat organized. Of course we even have the OCD collectors with their organizing skill and prowess (hope to be like that when I grow up someday, but not today…).

Day 266 – 23 September 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1962 Pennant featuring the Orioles Team Photo but now it has the year felt addition saying 1962. I really enjoy this Pennant version through 1974. The Hartzell Bird at the top is pretty cool.
