Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[71buc]

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...

Day 169 (June 17, 2020 – 169)

A 1960’s MLB American League Junior Major Leaguer youth t-shirt picturing several stars of the day. I’ve seen a similar shirt picturing some of the same stars, but in a different location also and some players have a different player image but haven’t been able to acquire one yet; shirt is likely from a different year than the one pictured.

The same image of Brooks was used in different cards, photo’s odd-ball items, etc. I have an example of the same image used below:

Good morning,

Below is an advertising poster for the 1999 Maryland Baseball Legends Scratch Offs. I really like the look of the poster but wish the Maryland Lottery had paid to have the Orioles logo on the tickets.

There is also a lithograph version of this poster that was signed by all six of the Orioles featured. Does anyone have that one to share?

Also, I've been meaning to ask this thread a question but haven't been able to find the magazine ad in question again. Several years ago, I was reading a 1983 or 1984 Orioles magazine or program and on the back was an ad for All Star Dodge of Baltimore. It stated that if you came in and test drove a Dodge, you'd receive All Star Orioles baseball cards. The ad was not specific and there were no photos to determine if you were receiving 1983 or 1984 Topps cards or specially made cards just for Dodge. Has anyone ever seen that ad and/or cards before?

I'm going to continue to search for the magazine in question.

Mike:

The only thing I can think of is the back cover of the 1983 Yearbook where you could leave your copy with All Star Dodge and they would have Brooks sign and they'd return it to you?

Mike,

Great question... Is this the ad you are talking about? It's on the back of the Orioles 1983 Yearbook. It mentions a set of 1966 Orioles cards. My only guess would be the set done by Franchise, but that was done in 1981?? I've never seen any cards directly related to Dodge. Also looks like Brooks will sign your yearbook if you bring it into Dodge.

A few days ago, we were discussing various postcards issued by people like JD McCarthy, Mel Bailey and Don Wingfield. You can add James Elder to that list. He was from Florida did a set of 1400 postcards that he sold individually and as sets. I believe he even offered them to players to use for autograph requests, although I don't have any that have gone through the mail. Here's an older post that talks a little about James Elder.

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=234476

There are 30 or 31 Orioles depending on your definition. One player, Frank Sigafoos, appears in a Baltimore Oriole uniform while they were a minor league team before 1954. It's an interesting mix of players & coaches. Most are them are not household names. In my opinion, the postcards are very well done and can easily be identified by the numbers stamped on back. I've been trying to complete the set of 30 Orioles for many years and still need four. I think I've only added one new postcard to the set in five years. They don't seem to show up that often, but still can be had in the $20 range when available.

Here's the checklist of Orioles along with the postcards in my collection

I’ve never seen these before. Thanks for sharing these.

This is a great item Mark! I have seen the exact same style with Clemente and others both on a T-shirt and also a sweatshirt, but have never been fortunate enough to land one.

Thanks! I've seen another example of Brooks on a shirt with some of the same player, but haven't been able to locate one. I haven't seen a sweat shirt, but it's likely that they made those as well.

I've seen a picture of a Clemente example on a T-shirt, but that's it. I don't think I've seen one pictured in your thread.

Mike,

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