Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Day 277 (October 3, 2020 – 277)

In 1963 Topps had an interesting insert; the Topps Peel-Offs. The insert set of Peel-Offs (or Stick-ons) consists of 46 players which were inserted into wax packs of the 1963 regular issue baseball cards. There are two variations to the Peel-Offs, one with instructions on the back or a blank-back version.

OTD in 2014 in one of the most exciting moments in Orioles history (recently anyways), Delmon Young hit a pinch hit bases loaded double at a frenzied Camden Yards to give the Orioles a 7-6 lead over the Tigers in Game 2 of the ALDS.

Here is a signed game ticket from that contest as well as a game used jersey of Young from 2015 (from a game in which he homered twice)..

Bill,

I was at that game in 2014 with my wife, who is from Detroit. She wouldn't touch me after Young hit that double, so I hugged the guy in the stands next to me.

Here’s a 1966 Season Pass for admission to all scheduled regular season games played at Memorial Stadium.

A few months before the 1966 World Series The American League Press release was mailed out on August 24, 1966. This release went to a fellow at the George Washington University. It was a three-page press release that discussed the 1966 Orioles; I only scanned one page of the release.

After the regular season in 1966 the Orioles, of course, come out on top. Here's a picture of Brooks from the 1966 season in a game vs. the Twins.

That was a great game. The Tiger's bullpen imploded the whole series.

A couple of those faces look familiar. That has to be Bill Stetka?
