Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Bill,

Hope your son had a great birthday! Really like what you did with the inscription and such a cool picture.

Man those Earl pieces are awesome…

I just won this. I was looking over Brooks Robinson Auto's on Ebay for comps on a group of Brooks Robinson signatures I have up on BST ( shamless plug ...lol) and I saw this. Signatures on programs magazines etc are manytimes a great way to get autographs at reasonable prices. This one was no exception, it is not the Brooks or the Uker but the Chylak signature that makes this one stand out. I have a friend who trying to put together a collection of everyone in the Baseball HOF and Umpire Nester Chylak is moderately difficult passing away at 59 in 1982 and elected to HOF in 1999 this will be his Christmas present ( if he still needs Chylak). If not I might keep it because it screams Baltimore sports with Bagli and Thompson signatures. And I am a lifelong Colts fan carrying that tradition from my Grandfather.

Jonathan,

That’s a great looking Brooksie signature on the front cover.

Recently picked up this January 1983 program of a charity basketball game between Oriole players and members of a Hanover/York (PA) radio station (I wonder how John Shelby ended up with #22 lol):

Bill,

Nice pick up. I saw it listed, but ended up passing on it. I'm glad you ended up with it.

I do have a similar program from December 1983. The Orioles played a group from Frederick County.

Does any one have a thorough list of all the Oriole Bobble Heads in the 1960s?

Thanks!
