The Orioles had a number of different companies, typically local, that would sponsor events and also advertise their company; Bethlehem Steel was one of those companies. The mill used to employee thousands of individuals in their Sparrows Point mill outside of Baltimore. In Memorial Stadium they had a few Bethlehem Steel Family night events over the years and typically offered some type of program or memorabilia type item with their company name well represented. The below is a 1969 Bethlehem Steel Family Night booklet with some of the Orioles players pictured. The pictures look similar to the Orioles picture pack photos, but on the back it has interesting facts about the steel company.

Mark,

Here is the program from that night. There are programs from 1964-1970 and photos from 1966-1970.

Mark,

Your Bethlehem Steel post reminded me of a set from another Baltimore area company, Martin Marietta. Here the link to Bob Lemke's post from a few years ago. I believe the set is complete at 14. A program was also done for that night.

I remember reading about Martin Family Night items a few years ago in Bob’s post. That is definitely a RARE set. I do have the Brooks, but it’s not in very good shape, but at least I have it. I also “need” the program!

Thanks so much for sharing your awesome collection.

Alan,

I guess that’s considered a program that I posted from 1970 earlier (post #185) w/Belanger on the cover. Shame that’s the last one. I know I have the photos from 1970 as well, but I think that’s my extent.

I do appreciate the years of these programs and the photo booklet years as well. That’s a great program you have in your collection; hopefully one day I’ll find one. It’s just nice to know they do exist and I know what they look like too. I know I’ll be checking back on this thread for reference material in the future.
