Good morning,

Charlie- love the 1954 ticket plan brochure.

Here is an Orioles schedule I recently picked up, similar to the Clement Prucha schedule Alan showed earlier. It's a 1956 George Mahoney for Senate card with the 1956 Orioles home game schedule on the back (as well as the horse racing season schedule).

George Mahoney would end up losing the 1956 Senate race in the general election.

Mike, thanks for sharing the schedule. I enjoy seeing all the different possibilities for Oriole schedules. 1956 was not a good year for him or the Orioles (6th place at 69-85; ahead of two other teams though). Very nice schedule.

Dat 82 – 23 March 2024
I thought to share my Gold Glove ball collection. You will see the 18 different Orioles who received a gold glover while playing with the O’s. Some received more than one (a prize for whoever guesses who has the most) but here is a ball for each with the Gold Glove edition ball with one exception, which is Mark Belanger. The Blade passed away I believe before the Rawlings Gold Glove Ball was made. This was a fun project. The hardest player to find was Bobby Grich. Brooks was the first Gold Glove Oriole and Urias was the latest. I hope this year we can add at least two more with Gunnar and Adley. I think Mounty might have a break out year as well.

Day 83 – 24 March 2024
Another collectible I enjoy are the mega phones or horns the Orioles made available over the years. Some of these are from other events or manufactures. My favorite pop corn horn is the darker of the three with “Charge.” I like the one in the frame, too. The top right plastic Wild Bill horn is nice. This one took a while to find but once I found it, I picked up a second one for half the cost. The white one in the middle top is from the 1966 WS and looks brand new. I believe there is at least one other version but black. The round horn beside it to the left is from memorial stadium but is round. I really like this one. There is a Bethlehem Steele round one I would love to find. The other two round ones are for the American League. If anyone has other horns, please share.

Not a popcorn horn, but food related. Here's a pizza box from 1971.

Nice pizza box, Alan. Have not seen that one before.

Really nice items! I don’t have it, but I’ve also seen a yellow version of the ‘66 WS horn that has the same setup.
