Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 44 – 14 February 2024
Today I am showing you a Display from Armour Meats (Pure Pork Sausage) from the 1970s. The display measures 13.5 inches by 10.5 inches. It has two identical sides showing a list of 8 signatures including Brooks, Bench, Reichardt, Conigliano, Staub, Maxvill, Jackson and Williams and different view of a mail in ball you could receive for $1.00. The ball is made by Rawlings. The ball protrudes from each side of the cardboard and is wrapped in cellophane. The box has a hole at the top so guessing it would hang from the ceiling. I displayed this a couple years ago but thought to share again. I have never seen this one before. The display looks like it was made yesterday. Pretty unique.

Before you picked this one up I had never seen this piece before. To me it’s so surprising that the piece survived, in this condition, for so long. Definitely an awesome display.

Who are the two people between Boyer and Brooks in the photo ?

Scott,

I really don't know. I believe it's likely that Brooks and Boyer were taking photos with the people at the event. I believe I see on their name tags that it's likely a husband and wife from Burlington NJ; possible Dick and Betty, but not real sure.

I was wondering if they were Brooks or Boyers parents.
