Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

I know I posted this program earlier in the year but here is a better scan of the 1978 Bluefield program signed by the entire team, which included an 17 year old Cal Ripken Jr.:



Here is an admission ticket to the very first game in Aberdeen Ironbirds history:

Good evening. Thought to share some cards from 1968 by Topps in the Brooks Robinson Registry. Between the US, Canada, and Venezuela Topps versions, you'll see there were a few different cards Topps offered. In the Master for Brooks, other companies made their versions, too. Thought to share the Topps Cards for 1968 on this post.

Very NICE! Really like that Topps had the different versions in 1968 especially.

Day 236 (August 23, 2020 – 236)

I really enjoy the artwork style in the 70’s. I guess that’s why I like the 1975 Topps cards so much; just a tad bit different, but you can definitely tell the era. This is a 1975 Orioles ticket information booklet entitled, Another Banner Year. It shows artwork of Brooks along with Paul Blair and I assume Ross Grimsley along with some bright colors (I really like the setup).

Mark,

I really like the booklet. I always thought that the pitcher was Mike Cuellar throwing his famous screwball.

Here are photos of Cuellar and Grimsley. Should we take a vote?

Well, now that you say Cuellar it does have the arm in a screwball motion. I vote for Cuellar

I'm voting for Cuellar too....I don't believe I've ever seen that booklet before..

Here is a Hank Bauer signed TIME magazine from 1964:

Mark...

Great photo!

Here is a neat photo of the Orioles starting lineup running out to their positions before the last game at Memorial Stadium in 1991...It took awhile, but I finally was able to get it signed by all of them:

Bill,

Nice ticket. I'm sure you must have the program from the game. It still amazes me, that until 2013, the Ironbirds would print a new program each day.

Bill,

That's definitely worth seeing again...
