Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

BaltOrioles · #1 09-07-2020, 08:06 AM

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.

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):

Day 252 (September 8, 2020 � 252)

In 1969 Topps did something a little different; they put stamps in their own 5 cent packs. Inside the packs you would get gum, a sheet of 12 stamps and one team album. There was a total of 240 stamps in the 1969 set.

Good morning,

Mark, I really like the 12-stamp proof sheet.

Below are photos from a 1972 Gillette All-Star 8x10 sheet that includes the starting line-ups of both the AL and NL All-Star Team. Brooks is included as the AL starting third baseman.

Earl was the manager and Jim Palmer was the starting pitcher. Dave McNally took the loss that game.

Both the AL and NL were loaded with HOFers (and I think next year Dick Allen will join them as well). This would also be Roberto Clemente's last All-Star game.

Sorry about the glare, I didn't want to remove the 8x10 from it's holder, as it's on thin paper stock.

Pressbox is a free Baltimore area sports tabloid size newspaper that comes out monthly..In the past I usually pick my copy up outside Rick Dempsey's restaurant after Oriole/Ravens games, unfortunately COVID has unfortunately stopped my travels down there.

I'm fortunate to have a relationship with the publisher/founder and he was kind enough to send me up their last two issues featuring both Brooks & Cal Jr. as cover subjects celebrating milestone anniversaries:
