The World Series can often provide some neat scorecards, in addition to the programs issued by each team. This was especially true in 1969. Both the Orioles and Mets had scorecards from various third parties.

The team issued programs from Baltimore and New York

Day 70 (March 10, 2020 – 070)

Here we have a 1970 Baltimore Orioles player matchbook by Universal Match. I have a few matchbooks of the Oriole players, but don’t have all 24 in this set; may have to track them all down one day. The Brooks matchbook cover uses a familiar B&W photo of Brooks surrounded by an orange circle with Baltimore Orioles contained within the circle. I'm sure this has item has been posted before, but I really like the setup on these matchbooks.

The Orioles used this same image of Brooks on a lot of items. Here’s a 1969 Orioles picture pack using the same photo as the matchbook.

Those matchbooks are great! Wish they did something like this for the Pirates

Day 71 (March 11, 2020 – 071)

Pictured is a photo of one of the home-made stadium banners, “Beware of the Birds”, from the 1971 World Series which hung in Memorial Stadium. This is currently my lock page on my computer.

This is how I remember the 1971 World Series; Jose Pagan getting tagged out by Brooks Robinson at third base at Three Rivers Stadium. The ending of the Series I try not to think about…

It is a pretty neat item and well set up in my view.

Day 71 I used to commemorate the '71 World Series, but did it with a lean toward the Orioles of course. The third party scorecard I pictured I've only seen a couple of times so probably hard to come by even though not the greatest looking item in the world.

I just picked up this small cutout picture of Brooks and Manny Sanguillen last week from the '71 Series and failed to post it within Day 71. I pictured the same shot of Brooks and Manny in post #612 that was used for a book "Baseball: How to Hit and Run".

Mark,

Here are a few more third party scorecards from the 1971 World Series.

Did the matches when mailed arrive in this box? Notice on the side of the box; it states, "Universal Safety Match Books".

While I really like the 1969 programs they are easily found with a quick search. Now the third party ones are typically hard to come by; there were a couple you've posted that I've never seen before. Those are very cool...
