With the bunting shown in the background, I always thought perhaps these pictures were taken prior to one of the WS games....

Back in the 1990's there was a great newsletter I subscribed to by the name of Diamond Duds...I remember first seeing the Brooks Koolon photo in one of the issues, so I dug out out my back issues & found it.....

Here is the packaging, Mark.

With Spring Training in full swing I thought I'd post these Orioles locker nameplates from Spring Training 1999 in Fort Lauderdale (I was able to obtain these from one of clubhouse staff at the conclusion):

Your name plates are very nice. Amazing, actually. I pick them up all the time and display them on a wall. Try to find the bigger names and different styles or years. Thanks for sharing!

Day 69 – 10 March 2024
Today I am showing a photo of Brooks Robinson by Sports Illustrated. This photo is from the 1960s. I have never seen another copy of this photo. I am not sure what year (assume early 1960s given the uniform) and any background on the photo. Is anyone familiar with this photo and was it part of a set that Sports Illustrated published? My copy is not in the best shape but would like to add to the PSA Master Set with Brooks Robinson. Please comment.

Alan may be able to help with this photo. I do know that this photo was used in the Orioles picture pack and does not have the marking on Brooks’ nose. Just wondering is they had something on the negative since it also has this mark on the Brooks ‘64 Martin Family night card.
