Clint,

Thanks for the ELK identification. NOW let me know what this kid lettered in? Looks like he has a couple of patches on the letterman jacket.

Lettered in baseball, football and basketball. Must have been quite the athlete.

Can you see it? Maybe it was someone else's jacket...

Day 251 (September 7, 2020 – 251)

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day!

I hope that most of you are off work today and if retired just enjoying the day. Today is a favorite card of mine Brooks’ 1975 Topps #50. I know some don’t like the setup on the 1975 Topps (something is wrong with you…), but I think it’s AWESOME! All these different colors on one card, game action shot, the AL ALL STAR in a star, eye black, short brim helmet, nice facsimile signature; this card is COOL. I think Brooks was the only major league player that wore the short brim helmet. Brooks basically took a hacksaw and cut 1 ½ off of the brim of the helmet and a ½ inch off of the ear flap.

I have always liked the cartoons drawn on the back of the 75s . Set is a real challenge to find centered and without print dots and fish eyes. I am with Mark, I like the 75 set and Brooks looks great!

Default Orioles/Phillies Reunion Picnic
Found this looking through some stuff and wondering if anyone attended? Bill?? It looks like a nice group of attendees from the 1983 World Series team.

It's a program from the 1983 World Series Reunion Picnic on June 28, 2003. Well, not really much of a program since there's only a front and back. Eddie Murray was scheduled to be there. Sometimes I wish I lived closer to Baltimore.

Alan:

Yes, I took my youngest son down for the weekend...Saturday afternoon was the outdoor luncheon and listened to a lot of players give short talks, which was then followed by an autograph session for both teams (as per the program).

On Saturday night, they held a Home Run hitting contest (which was won by Rick Dempsey I believe) and on Sunday, they actually had an Old Timers Game (which you never see anymore)...

The Orioles later in the season auctioned off the uniforms & helmets used in that Old Timers game and I was fortunate to get the Eddie batting helmet (fortunately Eddie was there however Cal Jr. was not):

That is such a great photo that Topps used it (or at least a very similar shot) on the 1976 box (although they reversed the image)

Believe it's the same shot, but has all the air brushing of the uni and helmet. Since Brooks does most things left handed you have to wonder why he didn't bat left handed...

Day 255 (September 11, 2020 – 255)

In 1969, Game 1 of the World Series, Don Buford homers off Tom Seaver in his first ever WS at bat. Buford is greeted by Jay Mazzone, the Orioles bat boy, along with the rest of the Orioles dugout including Brooks with open arms ready to offer his congratulations. Mike Cuellar went the distance in a 4-1 victory over the Mets.
