Bill,

That's pretty cool. I've never seen it before. That commercial never made it to Maine. LOL

I think that's John Shelby instead of Mike Young.

Alan:

I was totally unaware of the commercial as well until I received the jacket (must have aired in the DC/Baltimore TV markets only) and was thrilled when the Washington Post did an article on it in 2015 so I could finally see it!...Thanks for the correct ID of T-Bone.

Day 272 (September 28, 2020 – 272)

I haven’t had an opportunity to have this calendar framed yet; I think it will look nice framed and up on the wall. As you can see it’s a 1960 Orioles schedule calendar put out by Sunpapers. It’s a very thin paper piece and is not in the best of shape, but I love the setup and the look of this schedule calendar.

How about a 1960 Leaf Brooks Robinson to celebrate the year?

Good morning Mark,

I agree, that Sunpapers O's schedule is definitely worth framing.

Below is a sign advertising All-Star Personally Autographed Baseballs featuring Brooks and Jim Palmer.

Does anyone remember these being sold?

Mike:

I do remember these back around 1976/77 and I actually purchased a Brooks & Belanger signed ball (I believe I saw their ads in Baseball Digest).

Never saw a retail display (I was living in Ohio at the time) but I think they're very nice!

Mark that schedule is awesome! Never seen that one before.

Mark,

I really like that calendar, too. 1960 was really the beginning, except for a couple seasons, of two plus decades of very good Orioles teams. Over those years, the Orioles farm system would produce plenty of major league talent.

The 1960 Orioles farm system consisted of the Vancouver Mounties (AAA), Miami Marlins (AAA), Fox Cities Foxes (B), Tri-Cities Braves (B), Aberdeen Pheasants (C), Stockton Ports (C), Bluefield Orioles (D) and Leesburg Orioles (D).

Here are programs from each of the teams, except Tri-Cities. I have the 1961 Tri-Cities program, but have never seen the 1960 issue.

Vancouver Mounties (AAA)

It's hard to tell from the scans, but one program is red and the other orange.
