Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[roarfrom34]

It's being reported that former Orioles LHP pitcher Grant Jackson has sadly passed away due to complications from COVID.

I got this PC signed probably 30 years ago when Jackson came through Reading as a pitching coach for the Pittsfield Cubs. I asked Grant if he liked pitching for the Orioles and his response (with a smile) was "I liked pitching for every team I played for."

RIP Grant

Bill,

Thanks for the update. It seems we are losing former Orioles at an increasing rate. I remember Grant as mostly a relief pitcher and a pretty good one for the Orioles. I was surprised to see he was a starter a couple years with the Phillies and threw over 250 innings for them in 1969.

I guess this must be opposite day. Bill posts a team issued postcard and I'll post a game used jersey of Grant Jackson.

Alan:

That's a sweet GU top of Jackson! His 1973 season was probably his best in Baltimore with a 8-0 record, ERA under 2.00 and a WHIP under 1.00

Of course, Orioles fans remember too that Grant was the winning pitcher for the Pirates in Game 7 of the '79 WS

A couple of the 84 English lids. These came with large Buckets. I had at one time a set of 76 lids and the small lids were tough. Luckey for me Nick Schoff and John Scott started running shows in and around Spring Garden Laurel etc. In 76 and I had access to the lids. Many fond memories of those shows.

recently picked up this 8' heavy vinyl banner that hung outside Camden Yards in 2001:

i like the banners but they are so big. i have one of Adam Jones and another one with old Orioles to include Brooks. I really like the side with the "Orioles" written out. nice pick up.
