Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Day 157 (June 5, 2020 – 157)

Think I noted it before, but I’ll pick up pretty much any book with Brooks on the cover OR back cover. Here’s a couple hard back books with Brooks pictured.

Mark,

I found this today. I'm not sure if it's been posted already, but nice picture of Brooks on the cover. It looks like it might have been part of a series of books.

I heard late this afternoon that the 1967 NL Cy Young Award winner & one time Oriole (1963-64) Mike McCormick passed away:

Bill,

Sad to hear. It seems you are posting these notices way too often.

Just a short rant, but I absolutely hate when PSA/DNA put their stickers on the front of photos. Is there any reason the sticker can't be put on the back and not ruin the original photo.

Yes, this was the first book in a subscription type baseball history book series from the late 1980's which were really done well (I believe there were about 12 books in total).

If you ever see this particular book in a thrift or used book store, check out the title page because a lot of them were signed by Brooks (as an incentive to subscribe) & donated unknowingly.

I don’t think we’ve seen it yet. Nice book and even better photo used for the cover. I think there’s a painting, I think by Perez, or this image.

These are the press credentials issued to the media for the 1979 World Series in Baltimore

Here are the 1971 World Series Baltimore press passes and a parking pass gifted to me by author of this thread.
I really like the green pass as it is stained by the rains that washed out game 2. It lends a historical feel to it.

I purchased the original 35mm slides shot by a Sports illustrated photographer who worked the 1971 World Series. These are some of the shots of the Orioles in Baltimore. They have never been printed or published. The wire photo is what it is.

Very impressive. Really like some of the pitching slides especially. You should have some of those printed; would make for a nice display in your ORIOLES/Pirates room...

Mike,

Are you going to start collecting the 1979 World Series too?!?
