Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 144 – 25 May 2024
Today I am showing you my two Baltimore Oriole Bird Face Bobbleheads with a green and white bases. The green base bobblehead is from 1960 or so. This version does not have a bird on the hat and the ball and glove are oriented differently. The white base is from 1961. Again, no bird on the hat. I go back and forth on the bobbleheads in terms of preference: boy/man or bird face. Regardless, these are very nice, not as rare and affordable.

Day 145 – 26 May 2024
My last set of bobbleheads are the gold and green base versions from 1968 and 1962. These are similar to the other ones I showed you the previous few days.

Day 146 – 27 May 2024
Today, I am showing you the pewter Brooks Robinson Michael Ricker statue from 1992. The statue says “The Legend Lives.” This is one of my favorites. The young boy looking at Brooks’ gold glove is very typical for a young lad meeting their hero for the first time. This statue is nicely done and is very heavy. They are not that easy to find but affordable.

Think that it’s cool that the gold glove was incorporated into the figure. Also, love that a kid is incorporated; gives the honest connection with young people and their hero. I know they did this with the statue in York, PA (which I have not visited yet).

While I don’t have many awards I do have one given to Brooks from the Boys Club shown with a young person.

Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day. Our fallen troops are well worth remembering.
