Was fortunate to find these recently. At top is a tie bar and pin from the 1984 Oriole visit to Japan. I have not seen the tie bar. Below, is a 1966 World Series Championship Cuff Links. These are really cool.

Another find at the National was a pair of batting gloves worn by Cal Ripken in the 1990s. The gloves show some ware. The black and orange with “RIP-8” looks very nice displayed.

Day 235 – 23 August 2024
Today I am showing you a ticket from my “birthday.” Brooks had a pretty good game on my birthday 60 years ago today…Sunday, 23 August 1964. The Orioles played a double header against the White Sox in Chicago and lost the first game 3-1 with Brooks going 1 for 3 with a Run, RBI and BB. The scorecard shown is from game 1 as indicated at the top of the cover and scoring information. In the 2nd game the Orioles won 7-3. Brooks had 5 AB, 3 hit, 0 RBI, 2 Run and a BB. His average was .308 with an OPS of .859. This of course was Brooks’ MVP year.
