I've found being a collector of snaps that the Orioles during the 50s are probably the toughest to find of any team. Maybe because they were a new team and all. But I believe this is my first of an O from the 50s. If you have any old Os snaps available please lmk. Hope you all enjoy.

Thanks for sharing; love the snap of Billy Hunter. Even though he was a coach when I was growing up he still was one of my favorites.

I probably have a few O’s snaps stored in boxes “somewhere”. I’m probably not like most guys here that are at least somewhat organized. Of course we even have the OCD collectors with their organizing skill and prowess (hope to be like that when I grow up someday, but not today…).

Day 266 – 23 September 2024
Today, I am showing you the 1962 Pennant featuring the Orioles Team Photo but now it has the year felt addition saying 1962. I really enjoy this Pennant version through 1974. The Hartzell Bird at the top is pretty cool.

At the Philly Show this past weekend, I picked up this sign from the Babe Ruth Museum promoting their Brooks Robinson Exhibit:

Bill… REALLY like the Brooksie sign; great pickup. What is the size of the sign?

I used to get pennants as a kid and had them in a circle around my ceiling and one on the wall. Mainly picked them up at O’s games at Memorial and tried to get the pennant of the other team they were playing as well to display. I had stuff everywhere in my room (do still have my Brooks SI Poster with tack holes all over the place). Of course most of my pennants have been lost or disposed of over the years. Charlie’s pennants, that he’s posting, are almost making me want to start collecting these all over again.

thanks Mark, I think it's 9 x 12 (or something close to that)
