1966 Orioles
This will be my last post for a few days, as I'm packing up the cars for the long trip to our winter home in Florida. We head out tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to the drive, but I don't miss the snow all winter.
 Since the theme the last couple days has been the 1966 World Series team, here are a couple more items from that year. 1966 Season Summary report 1966 Season Summary.jpg A couple more third party World Series scorecards 1966 World Series (News American).jpg 1966 World Series (Block Letters).jpg Menu from the Hit & Run Club 1966 Hit & Run Club Menu.jpg

Day 282 (October 8, 2020 – 282)
I really like this advertising piece today that as put out after the 1966 World Series win. It’s a plastic National Bohemian Beer advertising sign with an easel back for display purposes. I posted a similar advertising sign from Clint’s (ksfarmboy) collection (post #377), but as you can see this example has the 1966 World Series crown along with the kingly robe.

OTD in 1983, Tito Landrum (who was a late season acquisition) hit a Game Winning HR in the 10th inning off Britt Burns to propel the Orioles over the White Sox in the ALCS and into the World Series..
Here is a signed game ticket from that contest:

Bill, I’ll never forget that game. Wind is blowing hard, Tito Landrum up, no chance of a home run here. Crack, it’s a home run! Awesome memories and great ticket!

Love all the 1966 World Series Items. It reminded me of a related item I have. It is The Sun Magazine insert from April 9, 1967 showing what looks like Brooks in the famous shot of him leaping in the air, but shot from the upper deck from Memorial Stadium.

Quote:
On the famous photo of the "leap for joy" from behind the scene of the last out of the '66 WS photographer Paul Hutchins recalls that, “I remember looking at McNally in the viewfinder, and seeing something coming from the left,” he said. “I didn't know it was Brooks, in midair, until I got back to The Sun and developed it." Mr. Hutchins later described the photo as "the most important one I took in 42 years at the paper.”

1970 World Series - Game 1
Day 284 (October 10, 2020 - 284)
On a Saturday, October 10, 1970, was the 1st game of the ’70 World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and the Cincinnati Reds. Both the Orioles and the Reds both won over 100 games this season; I believe the odds were about even on who would win. It was an away game at Riverfront Stadium and was the first World Series game to be played on artificial turf. I remember Brooks was asked by a reporter about playing on Astroturf for the first time before Game 1 and his reply was, “I’m a Major League third baseman. If you want to go play in a parking lot, I’m supposed to stop the ball.” Interesting: The Jackson 5 preformed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the game. The pitchers for Game 1 were Gary Nolan for the Reds and Jim Palmer for the Orioles. The Reds had a 3-0 lead on a Johnny Bench first-inning single and Lee May’s two-run homer in the third over the left field wall. Thankfully Palmer got in a groove after that home run. The Orioles came back with a Powell two-run homer in the fourth and an Elrod Hendricks solo shot in the fifth. Brooks hits a home run in the seventh with the go ahead run and ultimately the needed run to win Game 1.

Day 284 Publication 1970 Sunday News October 11 1.jpg Day 284 Publication 1970 Sunday News October 11.jpg Commenting on Brooks play off of Lee May down the line throws out at first Quote: “When you play with Brooks, you just go to the bag and hold the glove out. He’ll get the ball there, you always know that.” – Boog Powell Harry Dalton, the Orioles GM, told Weaver after Game 1, “That’s got to be one of the 10 best plays Brooks ever made, Earl.” Weaver didn’t agree. “I’d put it in the top 100 plays,” then corrected himself. “Those hundred are only since I’ve been here.” Of course Earl joined the Baltimore Orioles in 1968. You have to love Earl Weaver… Orioles win 4-3. The winning pitcher of Game 1 was Jim Palmer

1970 World Series - Game 2
Day 285 (October 11, 2020 – 285)
On Sunday, October 11, 1970, was the 2nd game of the ’70 World Series. Game 2 was an away game played at Riverfront. The pitchers for Game 2 were Jim McGlothlin for the Reds and Mike Cuellar for the Orioles. Again, the Reds jump to an early lead; by the third inning it was already 4-0. Thankfully, slowly but surely the Orioles came back and took Game 2. Day 285 Don Buford.jpg Orioles win 6-5. The winning pitcher for Game 2 was Tom Pheobus.
