Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

That’s sad to hear Bill. I guess Ray is the last one alive? Altobelli I think is alive too.

Yep Clint, that's the sad truth (though I've heard that Altobelli isn't doing well)

Altobelli always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I hope he’s doing ok.

Sad news about Jim Frey. Thanks for letting us now Bill; I didn't hear about his passing until you mentioned it here.

Clint has a nice 1972 Orioles road jersey worn by Jim.

Day 106 (April 15, 2020 – 106)

This is a 1983 ASA The Brooks Robinson Story with red trim on the boarders. The other version of this set, which has green trim on the borders, I pictured on Day 100.

Clint....Those '72 road knits are beautiful and very hard to find (my buddy has a Billy Hunter one)!

Mark...never have seen the red trimmed cards before

Here is a souvenir team photo of the 1966 Rochester Wed Wings (who won 83 games but unfortunately lost to Richmond in the playoffs).

Notable guys pictured include Mark Belanger, Frank Bertania, Ed Barnowski, Dave Vineyard, Ken Rowe, Mike Epstein, Larry Haney, Dave May, Dave Leonhard, Mike Fiore, Earl Weaver (mgr), Herm Starette, Cam Carreon, Mickey McGuire & Tom Phoebus

Alan....When I saw your Singleton promotional photo from Central Savings Bank it reminded me of this 11x17 advertising poster from 1979 with Union Trust Bank (which he later signed for me)..

Also the spikes that Kenny is wearing in that action photo are similar to a pair that I own as well:

Bill,

I've never seen that 1966 Red Wings team photo before. Here's the team photo in my collection, plus a couple other 1966 items.

I hadn't seen the news about Jim Frey either. Like Bill, I don't have much for Jim Frey items except his team issued postcards and 8x10 photos. He was also included in the team publicity photos used by the media during the 70's.

Clint has another jersey of Jim Frey. This is a complete 1979 home worn full ensemble.

Day 107 (April 16, 2020 – 107)

I think that both photos are from the 1971 American League Championship Series game against the Oakland Athletics; one home and one away (correct me if I’m mistaken). If you’re an A’s fan I’m sure you remember that the Orioles swept the A’s in three games 😊.
