This is a very long shot, but do you possibly have a snapshot of John Buzhardt in an Orioles uniform? He played briefly with the Orioles in 1967 and would probably be wearing uniform #30 or #49.

He 's one of the last few players I need a picture of as an Oriole.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for the ID on Larry Haney. The player had been incorrectly ID'd as Aparicio, but I didn't think it is him. You cleared that one up. One down, hundreds more to go!

I found nine more Orioles snappers, but unfortunately no one wearing those uniform numbers. Baseball Reference is showing that Buzhardt also wore #19 while in Baltimore. Maybe that could help your search. The players in the two top left photos aren't ID'd and are wearing warm-up jackets. Are one of those guys Buzhardt?

Here are the rest of the Orioles.

Thanks for checking, but none of them look like John Buzhardt to me.

The three guys in the top left look like Frank Bertaina, Moe Drabowsky and Dick Hall

In 1972, a set of postcards were printed by Pro Star Promotions out of Canada. They aren't especially attractive, but do have a nice selection of Orioles. The set includes a total of 37 postcards with the checklist card. Being printed in Canada, the set is heavy on Montreal Expos players. The are 12 AL Stars, 12 NL Stars and 12 Expos. The backs are blank. I assume they weren't licensed since there aren't any team logos. Not too hard to find.

4 out of the 12 AL Stars are Orioles. The checklist also indicated a set of posters were available.

Dave McNally, Boog Powell, Merv Rettenmund and Brooks Robinson

Alan,

So, do you have the Boog Powell poster? I’ve never even seen the Powell poster.

As many of you know, game used pitcher's bats are not easy to come by. Recently picked up a Milt Pappas game issued bat for the '62 All Star game in Washington. Pappas never made a plate appearance during the game, although, he did pitch the 9th inning retiring the side in order.

No and I've never seen it either, but I assume it's a similar pose to the postcard.

I respectfully disagree. I think this set is beautiful and among the best of the 1970s.
