Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[OriolesHOF]

Two of your favorites Mark. I have about 40 of these snappers from the '70 World Series. The first Brooks indicates "World Series Oct. 1969."

I noted yesterday that it was Jackie Robinson's birthday & it reminded me that I have this March 1955 AP Wirephoto from Spring Training at Vero Beach with Les Moss running up the line with Jackie Robinson taking the throw at first base.

Obviously, it's hard to find things that connect both Jackie and the Orioles directly.

If you’d like to commemorate something non-Oriole go for it... Think the majority here like baseball, football, basketball, hockey, etc.

Thanks Larry. Yes, all of mine are approx 2 3/4". I wouldn't say I actively pursue them. The mid size lids are the ones I usually come across and just haven't picked up any other sizes yet.

First, thanks for posting a closeup of the Tops in Sports award. That is such a nice piece.

I LOVE ALL OF THE SNAPSHOTS YOU POSTED. I think it’s neat looking that the person taking the pics got part of the dugout top. Of course you only posted four; so, we’ll wait on the other thirty-six The one with LeRoy Neiman pictured with Bench has to be my favorite even though Brooks isn’t pictured. Think I mentioned it before, but Bench was my favorite non-Oriole.
