For many years, the Norfolk Tides had a photo giveaway on selected Sundays throughout the season. The promotion started while the Tides were a Mets affiliate and continued when the Orioles came to town in 2007. Unfortunately, the Tides discontinued the promotion in 2019.

The photos are 9x12 and on thicker poster paper. The backs have stats and bio of player. There were usually 4000 passed out at each game and the featured player was available to sign them before the game. I really like them a lot. There were 8 photos per year from 2007-2017, but only 5 photos in 2018. Through a connection at the Tides, I have been able to get 86 out of the 93 photos from the time the Tides started with the Orioles. I would love to complete the sets.

Here are samples and checklists from each year

Alan,

Your collection never ceases to amaze. Those are pretty neat items. I really like the setup on the 2017 issue. Man, and you only need a few to complete the sets.

Day 120 (April 29, 2020 – 120)

We’ve seen some Salada coins and a shield posted previously and this one is from the next year. The 1963 Salada Tea coin #53; this ’63 Salada set was called the All-Star Baseball Coins. These coins were made of metal and are 1 ½” in diameter.

Hello,

With some time to go through my various cabinets of magazines, I'd thought I'd feature some newer ones featuring Orioles players but from some oddball sources.

Very cool. A couple of them I've never seen before.

When the Orioles ended their relationship with the Stockton Ports after 1971, the next four seasons saw the Orioles class A affiliate in the California League located in Lodi,CA. During that span, Lodi went through several name changes and averaged between 300-600 fans per game. From 1972-1974, Lodi was managed by Jimmy Schaffer. In 1975, the Orioles were managed by Bobby Malkmus.

Here are programs and a few team issued and Mel Bailey postcards from those teams. I have a bunch of postcards of players in Lodi uniforms, that I'll post when I'm back in Maine.

1972 Lodi Orions

The 1972 Orions finished 67-73. A few players included Manager Jimmy Schaffer, Bob Bailor, Terry Clapp and Larry Harlow. Terry Clapp never made it to Baltimore.

1973 Lodi Lions

The Orions changed their name to the Lions in 1973. They finished with their best record as an O's affiliate finishing 77-63. Players included Blake Doyle, Kiko Garcia, Larry Harlow and Dave Skaggs.

1974 Lodi Orioles

A final name change occurred in 1974 and for the next couple seasons they were the Lodi Orioles. The 1974 Orioles ended up going 61-79, but did include a couple cup of tea Orioles in Randy Miller and Mike Parrott

1975 Lodi Orioles

The 1975 Orioles were back over .500, finishing 71-69 under new manager Bobby Malkmus. Willie Royster was the only future Oriole on the roster
