Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

Alan & Mark:

Such a rich tradition between the Orioles and the city of Miami! One year prior, Cal Ripken Sr. managed the Marlins and here is a Miami Herald Press Photo of him:



Bill Ripken liked this photo so much, he asked to borrow it to include it in his new book "State of Play," which came out earlier this week.

Here is also a team signed ball from that '67 Marlins club....Amazing that Jim Palmer in just the prior October was pitching in the World Series, was sent down there to work on his ailing shoulder in the warm weather (started five games and pitched to a 2.00 ERA)

Bill,

Great photo. I think stuff from the minor leagues have long been overlooked by most collectors.

Scott I agree with you on 1970 3-D. It’s a great looking card.

This was from the card shop I worked at when I was a kid. The owner made this with cards laminated to the cardboard. It was made in 1979. It was supposed to help the customers date cards and different issues. He gave it to me a couple years ago. The lamination has slipped and a couple of the cards have been lost but I’ll replace them one day. Anyways right in the middle is 1975 Mr Robinson.

Day 47 (February 16, 2020 – 047)

Rawlings put out a Trade Digest for companies that distributed their athletic equipment. The one pictured today is a Rawlings Trade Digest for Distributors of Rawlings Athletic Equipment dated February of 1965 (VOL. 8, NO. 2). The Trade Digest pictures the ’64 MVP’s Brooks Robinson and Ken Boyer on the cover (in their suits with a Rawlings glove in hand) with the statement “who’s on third?” I don’t see these type of items very often and I would think are relatively scarce. There’s another example of Robinson and Boyer pictured on a Trade Digest as well, but don’t have that particular example.

After the 1964 MVP awards for Brooks and Boyer there were several magazines that featured the two on the cover in 1965. The following is one of them:
