Was saddened to learn this evening of the passing former Orioles pitcher John Miller, who pitched for the Orioles from 1962-67 and then had a long career as a Baltimore County firefighter:

Bill,

Sad news indeed. Thanks for making me aware of this loss.

Day 161 (June 9, 2020 – 161)

In 1971 Continental Recordings, Inc. released a record entitled, BROOKS ROBINSON. Notice that it’s not just an interview by Chris Schenkel, but an “exciting” interview. Brooks recounts the 1970 World Series between the Orioles and the Reds on this vinyl.

I was unaware that the album came with the glossy picture. That has to be a hard item to find. I collect a few vintage rock albums and The Rolling Stones first album cam with a small poster/photo. It’s almost impossible to find especially without tape or thumb tack holes .

Thanks for showing the interior of the Brooks album....My copy still has the factory shrink wrap and I've never opened it!

Classic 1969 cover from The Sporting News signed by Brooks, Frank & Boog:

I love that cover. I have the same one signed and in my upstairs hallway. Get to see it every day. Always makes me smile.

Mark..I've always loved all the 3D cards of Brooks!

With this being High School graduation season (though an unusual one), here is a class photo of the Aberdeen (MD) High School Class of 1978 ("Calvin" is in there somewhere):
