I’m definitely a photo guy and enjoy both collecting and viewing photos In reference to the first color photo you listed; have you sold any negatives and/or photos from this night game? I have a similar photo that I purchased several years ago that’s definitely from the same roll. Love the young Brooks at a night game. Thanks for sharing these great shots.

You bet!
Yes. I have sold some photos. I have also had some files stolen--as is common these days. The image is originally a 35mm kodachrome. It can make up to about 24x36" before it loses clarity.

Here's my favorite photo of Brooks. It's from the 1965 Who's Who in Baseball magazine. Is that really John Orsino?

Not to long ago someone on eBay had that same magazine photo autographed by Brooks and he signed it and put "an impostor"...

Thanks Alan; it is Orsino.

Phil,

Not the greatest pic of the piece; just a quick pic so you get the idea. It's a 16x20 and is a pretty nice shot of Btooks. I like the one you pictured as well and I may have purchased that one as well since it looks familiar, but not positive.

Day 26 (January 26, 2020 – 026)

I pretty much loved all the Orioles players and John “Boog” Powell was no exception. Boog was the 1970 AL MVP and was a significant part of the Orioles in their heyday.

First is a UPI photo of the Robinson brothers along with Boog; the “Big Guns” in the Orioles lineup playing the Red Sox in 1966. By the way the O’s won this game 6-4.

Second up is a picture of the Orioles celebrating when they clinched the Eastern Division title in 1969. Boog is in the middle of it all enjoying the well-deserved division title.

I was first able to meet Boog when he was the guest of honor at a CVS Pharmacy opening (of all places) in Nottingham, MD. I asked him to sign his 1965 Topps card, since he is clearly wearing number 8 in it, just like my favorite player.

Later, I was able to acquire his 1968 Topps 3-D card, which even though it's been shown on this thread before, I just think it's a beautiful card.

Mike,

Two great pieces. Love the story behind the signed Boog card. Wonder why he was wearing a #8 in the pic. He wore #16 when he can up correct?

The 3-D Boog is a favorite.

I asked Boog why he was wearing #8. He said it's just a number they assigned him for a while in 1964. He didn't care as long as he was in the Big Leagues.

Wasn’t Etchebarren wearing #8 before AND after ‘64?!? Or is my memory fading...(that is a possibility).
