Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

Was looking through some items last evening & ran across this Charlotte O's SGA poster from their 40th anniversary celebration weekend back in 2016...

We had the good fortune to be invited to a small party given by the Crockett family the day prior & took this picture of Eddie & Jimmie Schaffer (who is credited for making him into a swatch hitter in '76).

Very cool, Scott. Any details about it? Year, etc?

Anyone have a cool Oriole Bank? Found this 1970 Bank recently.

Good afternoon,

Here is a 1955 Orioles bat bank with 10 plastic bats.

It’s was licensed by MLB. It is sealed and I think it was sold at Wards or Sears in the early 1970s. It’s either a shirt or pajama top. It has Brook”s number 5 on front and I am unsure if “Robinson” is printed across back shoulders.
