My plan is to mat/frame it with a few photos and ticket stub (yes, I was able to get a physical ticket that night) and give it to him as a surprise for his upcoming birthday:

Congrats! That will make a great piece to frame. You’ll still need to keep an eye out for the Orioles home dugout card; hopefully it will come up for sale at some point. I’m sure your son will love it.

Day 48 – 18 February 2024
I thought today was a good “time” to show the 1968 Major League SuperStar Watch with Brooksie. This version is green but a blue one can be found. This has been discussed on Net54 before. They were MFG by American Time Co., Detroit, MI. MLBPA licensed the watches and came on a black band. I had this one put on a nice green leather band. The watch included a picture of the player. The list of players to adorn a watch in 1968 included Brooks and 9 other players who would later be elected to the HoF. If anyone has the photo and feel it’s “time” to part with it, let me know. I will be “watching” for responses. Well, it is “time” to go until tomorrow.

Wait a “minute” … there is a “second” version of this watch in blue?

Day 49 - 19 February 2024
Does anyone else collect the Baltimore Orioles Hit and Run Club dishes? Today, I am showing the 7 inch saucer, 9 inch plate, 11.5 inch serving plate and tea cup. On the reverse side there is a stamp that says Homer Laughlin, Best China, USA, FD. Not exactly sure what year they were produced and when exactly they were used at Memorial Stadium. They make a wonderful display. They all look brand new. These plates appear every so often. The cup and serving platter are not as available as the two other plates. The cup is probably the hardest to find.

I have ONE plate. Really didn’t know there was others besides the normal size plate.

Scott and Mark, you are both funny most of the time. Appreciate the comments. Nice blue watch with original band. Would love to find the card.

The plates are really nice. Several sizes for sure. I wonder if there are other serving pieces.

I didn't have "time" to post since I spent numerous "hours" at CHEERSPORT in Atlanta and just returned this "second". There is a "second" one...
