Brooks’ professional career started with a minor league team the York White Roses in 1955. York is in Pennsylvania and the White Roses were in the Piedmont League during the time Brooks was playing. I really only have one thing from this team and that’s a small PM10 pin of the White Roses.

Mark,

I've seen the pin before, but always passed since I wasn't sure if it was from 1954-55, when the Roses were affiliated with the Orioles.

It does look 1950's. Do you know if it can be traced to a certain year or just a span of years?

This is a film transparence from the Topps Vault I purchased many years ago. I believe this was from the same photo session that Topps used for the 1972 and 1973 Candy Lid. I like this smiling image much better than the one used on the Candy Lids.

Love it Scott! I have a few transparencies that I'd like to show sometime this year. How did you get it to show up like that; looks pretty good. I tried to scan and also a tried to take a picture and it turned out really dark. Any suggestions? I'll keep messing with it and hopefully I can get it a tad bit better.

I scanned it and then adjusted the hue/saturation in photoshop. It was pretty dark before I adjusted it .Hope that helps.

I'm not an expert by any means on pins, but I know it's early due to the style, but don't know whether it dates to the '54-55 Roses when they were affiliated with the Orioles. I know I wanted "something" of the York White Roses and this is what was available. Also, I'd like to pick up a program like yours as well as a pennant if at all possible.
