Back in August of 1978, Baltimore Sun Magazine (which was a Sunday paper insert) posted a cover photo of Cal Ripken Jr. & Tim Norris and wrote an article inside about two Baltimore natives in their first year of professional baseball in Bluefield, WV.
I was fortunate enough to pick up several of the original photos that were part of the article & here is my favorite (signed by both CRJ & Norris):

So Tim Norris pitched five seasons in pro ball for the Orioles, reaching as high as AA, and later as an adult became the manager for Youse's Orioles, which is a collegiate summer baseball team...
I went to a few Youse's games in 2013 & was able to get a lineup card or two postgame from one of the players...If you look at their lineup, you'll probably recognize the names of Boddicker (James), Ripken (Ryan) & Sheets (Gavin...who made his MLB debut in '21)...Larry Sheets was in the stands the day I was there as well.

Ike DeLock
I just heard from Bill Haelig that former Orioles pitcher Ike DeLock passed away at age 92. DeLock had a nice 11 year major league career, almost all with the Boston Red Sox.
He did have a brief stint with the Orioles from June 9 - July 19, 1963, appearing in 7 games. Because of his brief time with the Orioles, I'm not aware of any team issued photos or postcards of him. That makes anything of DeLock in an Orioles uniform very hard to find. I have found two photos of him and both look like they were taken the same day. DeLock, Ike 1 - Copy.jpg SCAN3948 - Copy.JPG
