Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[ripfan008]

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up from a fellow message board member this c. late 1950's - early 1960's piece promoting the Gorsuch House restaurant in Baltimore.

It only features Eddie Robinson (pictured on the front in a Yankees uniform), so it must be before Brooks invested in the same restaurant.

The piece is like a little booklet that folds open. The colors inside with a cartoon rendition of Eddie are still very nice. It is blank-backed.

Has anyone seen this one before and know anything else about it?

Mike, I have a future post on some new items I found on Gorsuch items. Have not seen this one. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Curious what “board” you receive in your message.

Thanks!

Day 196 - 15 July 2024
In 1974 the All Star game was played on July 23rd at Three River Stadium in Pittsburg, PA. The NL won 7-2. This would be Brooks’ last All Star appearance as a player. He would go hitless (0 for 3). He did not have any assists in the game. I am showing you two All Star Game Pennants, ticket, large pin back, press pin and program. Also, the 1974 All Star Topps PSA 9 card and O-PEE-CHEE PSA 8 OC card and the 1975 Topps Cards indicating Brooks was an AS the previous year. Brooks All Star game totals included 18 games, 45 AB, 5 Runs, 13 hits, 0 doubles, 1 HR, 1 BB, 4 SO, 1 HBP, 0 GIDP, AVG .289, .319 OBP, and .489 SLG. His fielding numbers included 32 assists, 0 errors, 3 DP and FP of 1.000. Brooks was on 2 All Star Winning Teams out of 18 appearances (1961 ended in a tie).

Day 197 - 16 July 2024
1978 All Star Game included two honorary captains. Brooks was the AL captain while Eddie Mathews represented the NL. The game was played in San Diego, CA at San Diego Stadium with the NL winning 7 – 3. I am showing you the All Star Pennant, program, press pin, pin back, and ticket. Thanks for tolerating all my All Star posts.

Day 198 – 17 July 2024
Today I am showing you a 1975 Orioles Uncut Team sheet SSCP. Included is Brooks Robinson. Unfortunately, this is only 15 of the 27 Orioles in the Set and Palmer is missing. I have never seen the sheet with Palmer. I am sure it is not too rare and out there.

Charlie,

I really liked this set when it first came out. FYI - there are two variations of the Brooks Robinson card. The second variation has part of his hat cropped at the top.

I always liked this set too....What I found neat about it was that the majority of the Orioles (and other A.L. teams) photos were taken at Shea Stadium (where the Yankees played during their stadium's renovation).
