Both are with his handwriting on the back mailed postmarked 1958 and 1960. Both post cards have his middle name misspelled (Colbert). There are differences between the two cards with the background, number, hat / face, and smile. The script appears to be slightly different.

Really like all of the Gorsuch house items. Haven’t seen the stirrers before. I’ve seen the menu, but don’t have one; really rare.

Really nice early O’s team issue postcards. Makes it even better that the mailing information is in Brooks’ hand.

I recently picked up this 1994 Global Sports magazine from China with Cal Ripken on the cover. Flipping through the pages, I was unable to find any other photos of Cal, so he may have just been featured on the front.

Day 210 – 29 July 2024
Another Baltimore Oriole’s Season Ticket Plan program. This one is from 1967 focusing on the Orioles 4 game sweep of the Dodgers. Brooks and McNally adorn the cover in celebration. On the inside season plans are described. Frank Robinson and Jim Palmer along with Davey Johnson have pictures. Box seating for all home games would cost you $228.

Day 211 – 30 July 2024
1974 was another banner year so the Orioles Ticket Plan for 1975 said just that on the front cover. The ticket to the right on the cover is my birthday (I turned 10 on August 23, 1975), so I thought that was cool). I really enjoy the color on the front cover. The cover lists pennant seasons and includes Brooks, Blair, Bellanger and I think that is Cuellar. On the inside you see the Athletics from the playoffs and Baylor and Palmer. Season passes for a lower box for all games is $356; up a $128 from 1966…see yesterday’s post. Included in the plan document is a mini plan sheet with other prices. On the back is Bellanger again with his 2nd baseman Grich along with the seasons schedule.

That SCREAMS the ‘70’s. Love the colors and the drawings of the players. Cool piece…
