I went to a few games in 2013 & was able to get a lineup card or two...If you look at their lineup, you'll probably recognize the names of Boddicker (James), Ripken (Ryan) & Sheets (Gavin...who made his MLB debut in '21)...Larry Sheets was in the stands the day I was there as well.

Bill,

Neat item and cool story

I just heard from Bill Haelig that former Orioles pitcher Ike DeLock passed away at age 92. DeLock had a nice 11 year major league career, almost all with the Boston Red Sox.

He did have a brief stint with the Orioles from June 9 - July 19, 1963, appearing in 7 games. Because of his brief time with the Orioles, I'm not aware of any team issued photos or postcards of him. That makes anything of DeLock in an Orioles uniform very hard to find.

I have found two photos of him and both look like they were taken the same day.

Bill,

Very very nice.

Just got back from watching spring training practice at Ed Smith Stadium. AA & AAA players, but nice to see some baseball again. Adley Rutschman looking good.

Greetings. Picked up a few new bobbles so thought to post. I shared on the Brooks FB page but figured a few of you are not on there. I think i have 33 different ones. I forgot to include 2011 Gold Glove statue. A few folks sent me a list of ones i am missing (a couple bears, different colored Hartland, different version of the Arbys, different version of the Bank Atlantic, taller version of the HoF bobble with black hat and bat down). There are a few others out there i am missing. I am sure there are a few here some of you have not seen. If you are aware of any others missing, let us know. Enjoy.

Good evening. I posted this one on a Pennant group on FB but thought to share here. Below are my Orioles pennants. Mostly, focused on Brooks days but you will find a few earlier, a few from 1979 and 1983. I am missing one of the Pennants with the picture. 1973 eludes me. Also, i am collecting the All Star pennants featuring Brooks' name. I believe he appeared for the first time on a pennant in 1962. He is on 1962-1974. Shown on far left is 1965, 66, 70, 71 and 72. If anyone has a All Star Pennant not shown or a 1973 Pennant with the picture, let me know. I am no pennant expert so show any you have that are missing.

Good evening. Another post. Thought to share some recent finds.

The grand slam cardboard poster was published the year after McNalley's WS GS. It is not perfect and has the writing on the bottom but will look good framed. On the backside, the Oakland As hand wrote the lockerroom plan on it.

I am told the "Charge" poster is from 1966. It is a paper poster. I plan to frame it. I just love the "National Beer" advertisement and purple.

The "leap" autograph BW picture came from a long term Oriole employee. I had it authenticated. It is 8.5 x 11. Would love to had this in "orange" sharpie...I guess i settled. By far, this is one of my favorite pictures.

The final picture is a bit larger and on a "board" featuring the Ripken's with autos. It came from the same estate mentioned above. I plan to frame this one, too.

Hope you enjoy. Show your favorites.
