1963 Programs
Quote:
Just in case you were interested, the 1963 program comes with three different cover variations. Brooks pictured in gray, orange and darker orange. I don't believe any variation is harder than the another. 1963 Program #1.jpg 1963 Program #2.jpg 1963 Program #3.jpg

Day 221 (August 8, 2020 – 221)
Back in April I mentioned The Orioles Advocates and one of the organizations they formed was the Junior Orioles. The name was changed along the line and currently it is called the O’s Dugout Club. This is a membership card for the Orioles1968 season. First is an envelope sent in 1968 to Timmy, in Baltimore MD, with his membership packet. Day 221 1 1968 The Junior Orioles.jpg Included in the envelope was a May 1968 issue of the Junior Orioles Bird Call. Day 221 2 1968 Junior Orioles Bird Call May.jpg 1968 Baltimore Orioles Junior Orioles Membership card – signed and unsigned Day 221 a 1968 Junior Orioles.jpg Day 221 aa 1968 Junior Orioles.jpg Also, included in the 1968 packet was a charter member of the Babe Ruth Shrine – signed and unsigned. Day 221 b 1968 Babe Ruth Shrine.jpg Day 221 bb 1968 Babe Ruth Shrine.jpg Of course, in 1968 kids would have been collecting the 1968 Topps baseball cards, but some would be playing baseball related board games, one of them being a Milton Bradley game called, Win-A-Card that came with 100 cards which were produced by Topps. The Milton Bradley set of cards contained baseball, football, and hot-rod cards. Here’s the Brooks example… 1968 Topps Milton Bradley #20 Day 221 c 1968 Topps Milton Bradley #20.jpg Day 221 cc 1968 Milton Bradley #20 back.jpg Oh, and if you were a baseball card fan in Canada in 1968 you were collecting the O-Pee-Chee cards. 1968 OPC Brooks Robinson #20 Day 221 d 1968 OPC #20.jpg Day 221 dd 1968 OPC #20 back.jpg

Even though I was never a Junior Oriole, I love that type of stuff. Here's a Junior Oriole kit from 1987 as well as a few more Bird Calls from 1966-1969. 1987 Junior Orioles Membership Kit.jpg 1966 Junior Orioles Bird Call Newsletter (Vol.2 No.1).jpg 1966 Junior Orioles Bird Call Newsletter (Vol.2 No.3).jpg 1967 Junior Orioles Bird Call Newsletter (Vol.3 No.1).jpg 1969 Junior Orioles Bird Call Newsletter (August).jpg Quote:
I have a near complete run of OPC team sets from 1965 up, missing a few cards. I think OPC cards are under appreciated.

Futures at Fenway Game
11 years ago today, I had the best seats at Fenway Park in Boston, that I have ever had or expect to have. I was sitting right beside the visitors dugout. I don't have much love for the Sox, but this was a good day.
I'm not sure if they still do it, but for a few years the Red Sox hosted Futures games with two of their minor league affiliates playing against another team's affiliates. In 2009, the Bowie BaySox and Norfolk Tides played at Fenway. The tickets were only about $5. No assigned seats. You could sit wherever you wanted and see both games. Concession prices were also reduced. Program from the game. 2009 Futures at Fenway (NorfolkBowie).jpg
