The box is approximately 4" x 5" and the cards are the same size as regular playing cards. The box is fairly thin with two rows of 18 cards fitting inside. The rules and playing field came folded up.

Day 192 (July 10, 2020 – 192)
The Orioles were back in the World Series in 1971, but ultimately lost to the Pirates in seven games. I have and envelope which contained the 1971 World Series credentials for an employee at the Providence Bulletin. Attachment 409080 Within the envelope was an Orioles 1971 World Series Press Notes. Attachment 409081 There may have been more items within the credential packet, but the last item was the orange Clubhouse – Field Pass for the 1971 World Series games. Attachment 409082 Below is the Orioles press pin for the 1971 World Series. Attachment 409083

Back in October of 2009, Brooks was honored with an "Evening" at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, which also served as a fundraiser for the Babe Ruth Museum....
It was a great event indeed with Brooks sitting up on the stage with friends, Orioles alum (Hansen, Cal, Palmer, etc.) & family sharing stories about him and his career. Printed on the admission tickets was "no autographs" and people that walked in with bats, photos, pennants, etc. were told to take them back to their car. When the event was over, the organizers were trying to have Brooks immediately exit back stage, but in typical Brooks fashion he ended up signing the event program for anyone that stood in line (including me and my son)...

Hi Bill, What a great story and program! I love hearing about Brooks doing things like that. I remember I was unable to attend that event because it was a Monday and I couldn't come down from Pennsylvania. The 2018 'Dinner with the 1983 Orioles' was the same story, since it was on a Wednesday. Were you and your son able to attend that event?

Unfortunately I was out of the area on business the night of the '83 Gala and I missed it. At the Orioles Fan Fest the following January, the Babe Ruth Museum had a table set up and were selling programs and posters they had left over from the event. I bought them both and here is the program and I'll post the poster (which is really cool) at a later date:

Day 193 (July 11, 2020 – 193)
First up today is a letter, with The Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Company letterhead, from Brooks to Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Wagman who are from York, PA where Brooks got his start as a minor leaguer with the York White Roses. An interesting piece of the letter discusses the possibility of soon opening a sporting goods store in the Queensgate Shopping Mall. It would make sense that this somehow relates to the plastic disc that Alan (BaltOrioles) pictured from Post #210. Would be neat to find out how the disc was used. Day 193 a Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods letter.jpg I picked up this sweater just for the Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods tag. I know the sporting goods store made Oriole jerseys; would be nice to have one of the jerseys they made with the Brooks tag. Day 193 b Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Tag.jpg Day 193 c Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Tag Sweater.jpg Lastly, a t-shirt from the sporting goods store. Could I have ironed it? Yes. Did I iron it? no. Day 193 d Shirt Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods.jpg

Problems - NET54
I know the site is having issues; hopefully the pictures will ultimately come back into view...
Day 194 (July 12, 2020 – 194) The 1964 Topps Coins set consisted of 164 metal coins inserted into the Topps wax packs. There were 120 regular coins and 44 All Star coins. The Brooks coin pictured today is the regular coin from the 1964 set. I really like the photo Topps used for this ’64 coin. 1964 Topps Coin #18 Day 194 a 1964 Topps Coin #18.jpg While it’s not the best of proofs, since it’s the yellow version, it’s the only front proof I have in my collection. 1964 Topps Coin proof #18 Day 194 b 1964 Topps Coin #18 front proof.jpg Pictured below is a proof of the back of the 1964 Brooks coin. 1964 Topps Coin back proof #18 Day 194 c 1964 Topps Coin #18 back proof.jpg
