A's Orioles ball?

[jimm]

LCS ball or? That's what I'm thinking this one may be, have had for about 20 years. thoughts? Kinda odd to have 2 teams on there...

[roarfrom34]

no LCS ball as I see Ollie Brown on there who only played for the A's in 1972, who faced the Detroit Tigers in the LCS that season..........

[jimm]

Good catch! Also I don't see the Robinson's on there, Frank would have been gone, Brooks would have been there in '72 unless I'm missing him. Some of the sigs, not sure who the guy is...

I agree with what's been posted so far. There's a couple of sigs that seem out of place (not even sure who they are) but Olie Brown places the ball between May 17 - June 29th 1972 which was his short time with the A's. The A's and Orioles played twice in June of that year.

I believe I see coach Irv Noren on there as well. I'm not so sure about Jim Hunter though unless the name under Weaver's is supposed to be him...although that doesn't look like Jim.

The panel with Tenace has

Merv Rettenmund
Jim Frey
Jim Hunter
Ron Clark

Ralph Salmon is Ralph Salvon, the O's trainer.

Ah, there's Jim under Jim Frey.
