Just heard from Bill Haelig that former Orioles outfielder Fred Valentine passed away yesterday. Fred played in the major leagues for 7 seasons, spending his entire career in the Baltimore/Washington DC area (3 different seasons with the Orioles and the rest with the Senators).

Fred appeared several times at the Orioles alumni signings at Camden Yards in recent years. He was always very friendly.

Here are a few postcards & photos from his time with the Orioles and Rochester Red Wings.

Thanks for posting this Alan. Fred had become friends with a member of my family who lives in the DC area. When my relative mentioned how much I loved baseball, Fred asked for my address and started sending me signed photos and copies of his MLB Alumni magazines. I spoke to him via email to send my thanks but never got a chance to tell him in person. He was a real class act. RIP.

It was only uncovered recently that Orioles centerfielder Willie Tasby (1958-60) passed away in April of last year.

Willie may be best remembered for playing the outfield in stocking feet during a rainy afternoon at Memorial Stadium rather than take a chance that his metal spikes might attract lightning...



RIP Willie

He'll always be remembered for his 1962 Topps variation where the insignia on his hat can be found airbrushed out...
