Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 161 - 10 June 2024
Today I am showing you a small soft bound book with Brooks on the cover published by the Sporting News. The book has World Series Records from 1903 to 1970. Back on the 1960-1970 there were so many iconic publications and photos featuring the Orioles and Brooks. The Brooks photo here is pretty cool of Brooks with his flannel uniform and iconic glove getting ready to catch a pop up.

Day 162 – 11 June 2024
Today I am showing you a program from Day 161 – 10 June 2024
Today I am showing you a program from the 10th Annual Shrine of Immortals Night, July 16, 1969. This program was done between games with the Indians. They celebrated some of the greatest Oriole players. On the inside you can see photos and details of players from 1954 through 1968. Then, you see a photo and details of the latest inductee to the Shrine of Immortals – Babe Phelps. He played professionally from 1931 – 1942 with a career average of .310. The shrine is for Maryland Athletes. 10th Annual Shrine of Immortals Night, July 16, 196

Day 163 – 12 June 2024
Not sure I have posted this before but today I am showing you a post card from Sunday September 18, 1977 celebrating Brooks Robinson, which was coined as “Thanks Brooks Day!” The post card has his photo on one side and some details about the day with a free handout to the attendees.

Very nice! I hadn’t seen one of these before until you showed me this in the past. I still haven’t picked one up or seen any available.

Mark, not sure I could explain where I found the post card above. Always looking, for sure.
