Default Outside Pitch Programs

In post #1122, I discussed GameDay and Outside Pitch programs, including some cards issued in conjunction with the programs. Here's a quote from that post -

"In 1992, an alternate to the programs sold at Camden Yards emerged. The programs were sold outside the stadium and eventually through a yearly magazine subscription. I started collecting them one issue too late and have all the programs printed, except issue #1. I have never seen it, but haven't given up hope of finding one. They lasted from 1992 until their last program in the beginning of 2010. The number of issues each year varied, but there are 192 different. The program was initially called GameDay, but in 1994 was renamed Outside Pitch. The publication's quality improved over the years."


Obviously throughout the years, Cal Ripken Jr was a popular cover subject. Cal appeared on around 30 different covers.

Cal's first two covers in 1992 and last cover in 2007

However, Brooks Robinson did appear on one of the magazine covers. As discussion of the demolition of Memorial Stadium were ongoing, the December 2000 issue reflected on the history of the stadium. The stadium would be torn down in February 2002.

Day 248 (September 4, 2020 – 248)

The Orioles swept the A’s in three games in the 1971 American League Championship Series. In the 1972 Topps set, card #222, Brooks is shown being greeted and congratulated by Mark Belanger.

Default 1970 Carl Aldana Orioles

I apologize if these have been posted before, but a search of the thread didn't yield any results.

Shortly after the 1970 World Series, artist Carl Aldana produced a small set of cards of the Orioles. The cards are listed as 1970, but with the inclusion of two cards showing Brooks Robinson's famous catch from the World Series, the earliest printing would be late 1970. Aldana was from the west coast and produced several sets, including cards of PCL players. I'm not sure why he selected to print a set featuring the Orioles.

The set contains 12 cards and includes two of Brooks Robinson. The cards are slightly smaller than regular Topps cards, more the size of 1951/52 Bowman cards.

Like everyone else, I was saddened to hear that Tom Seaver passed away the other day.

Back in July of '85 I took in a Saturday afternoon White Sox/Orioles game at Memorial Stadium with Seaver pitching for the Sox.

I took some pre-game photos of him warming up in the Bullpen and then one of him pitching to Cal Ripken Jr. Looking at that picture now, I can see that it now has four Hall of Famers in it...

RIP Tom

Day 249 (September 5, 2020 – 249)

There’s an area that’s lacking in my Orioles collection and that is pennants (and now I guess minor league Oriole affiliates). I have just a few, but to be honest most of them are not in nice shape since a lot of the Orioles pennants when I was growing up were white and the color just doesn’t hold up well over time; at least mine didn’t. Most of the pennants that I still have been in my possession since I was young. I was big into pennants as a kid; I loved putting them in circles on my walls and ceiling. I gave many of them away along with way, but still have a few remaining even though I’d really need to upgrade most if not all of them. Currently I don’t have ANY on my wall (what a shame).

Always like this one since it reminded me of Brooks.
