Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Bill,

I was at that game in 2014 with my wife, who is from Detroit. She wouldn't touch me after Young hit that double, so I hugged the guy in the stands next to me.

A few months before the 1966 World Series The American League Press release was mailed out on August 24, 1966. This release went to a fellow at the George Washington University. It was a three-page press release that discussed the 1966 Orioles; I only scanned one page of the release.

After the regular season in 1966 the Orioles, of course, come out on top. Here's a picture of Brooks from the 1966 season in a game vs. the Twins.

Day 280 (October 6, 2020 – 280)

Maybe you need a way to get to the 1966 World Series played at Memorial Stadium. Well, no problem; here you have a 1966 World Series express bus pass advertising form from the Baltimore Transit Company which explains how to go back and forth to Memorial Stadium and have no parking problems and no traffic headaches.

Now you can’t just have a seat at Memorial Stadium for the 1966 World Series you “need” a clubhouse pass. Well, here you go…

It's really difficult for me to realize that the last game at Memorial Stadium was 29 years ago today.

My good friend (RIP) worked for a radio station and had Press Credentials, so he had a professional photographer accompany him that beautiful day to capture some wonderful photos (here are just a handful):



Fittingly, Brooks and John Unitas threw out the first pitch (using their respective balls) and if you refer to post 2147 where I showed a Panoramic Photo of all the players who came out onto the field afterwards, here is a view of what that looked like from above:



And finally a photo of me (in the middle) and a couple of my good friends after it was all over (taken by an Usher):

I have eight different programs from the series. Here are a couple of the more unusual third party versions.
