Thanks Phil!

I was going through cleaning up some of my email and I ran across an email from you from 2006. We discussed this picture a while ago and now "we" know for sure I purchased it from you...

Day 176 (June 24, 2020 – 176)

The Orioles travelled to play the Chicago White Sox on June 14, 1969. It was Teachers’ Day at Comiskey Park. The Orioles won by the slightest of margins 12-3.

I’m not really much of a ticket collector. I have a few from when I went to the games and a few from picking them up when I hit a dry spell and nothing much else is out there. I know we have some big ticket collectors and possibly one day I’ll work on acquiring more, but for now not so much. I picked this ticket up because it was pretty big compared to the O’s tickets, nice looking, was a full ticket and the price was right. As a bonus, Brooks hit a HR in this game.

Full ticket to the White Sox vs. Orioles game on June 14, 1969.

I was trying to locate a picture of Brooks playing the White Sox, but couldn’t locate one so had to settle for a different color Sox…Red. The below photograph was taken by Frank O’Brien of the Boston Globe from a game on July 20, 1969 played at Fenway park in Boston.

Much like Mark, I don't have a large number of tickets in my collection compared to some of you. Mostly World Series, playoffs, HOF games and a few from the Orioles Japan tours.

Here is a Sporting News print of Memorial Stadium from around 1982. It highlights various historical moments that occurred in the stadium. I say 1982, because it references events from 1980 and 1981, but has no mention of the Orioles World Championship in 1983. I believe it might have been reprinted around 1990, because I've seen some prints offered with printing in the lower left corner. This is one of the originals. I know I picked it up before 1990. The print is around 16x22.

I included a ticket stub from the Orioles first game at Memorial Stadium on April 15, 1954 as part of the display.

Mark & Alan.....Nice tickets...I enjoy collecting tickets (I collect Cal HR tickets & probably have about 150 of them so far) & I get my better ones slabbed. Just yesterday was the 39th (gulp) anniversary of the conclusion of the Rochester/Pawtucket 33 Inning game:



I think with paper tickets disappearing from the sporting event landscape (I had to pay an extra $22 to get paper tickets with my Orioles Season Ticket plan this year), collecting tickets will become more popular in the coming years.
