Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Day 290 – 17 October 2024
Recently added some State Plates to my License Plate Collection featuring the Orioles. The additions include the Nebraska “Oriolz” and Kansas “Oriole” plates. I believe I have shown the other ones before that include from the left top small black and orange Orioles plate which is pretty rare, to the right top 1954 Baltimore Orioles plate (this one is pretty rare and very nice), smaller 1966 World Champions plate, It Can be Done in 61 plate (my favorite and impossible to find) and the small Oriole plate, 1983 WS Champions plate and the other two below it. If anyone has any plates they are tired of, give me a yell.

Day 291 – 18 October 2024
I was at the Orioles – Giants game on 18 September 2024 and lucked into this ball. It was the 7th inning and Gunnar Henderson fielded a hard hit ball by the Giants catcher Curt Casali and scopped it up and brilliantly threw it to Ryan O’Hearn on first for the third out in the 4th inning. O’Hearn then threw the ball over the net into the crowd. I had my phone in my hand and stood up and down came the ball into my hand with the phone…I bobbled it but caught it with the other hand as it nearly escaped me. I still have my soft hands like Brooksie I guess. Ha. My daughter was impressed and got some compliments around me. Pretty cool to get a fielded ball by Gunnar. Sadly, we lost 5-3 but had a nice evening despite the loss.

Day 292 – 19 October 2024
For the next week or so, I thought to share my World Series and ALCS / Play Off Programs and Tickets. Today I am showing you the Program and Tickets for Game 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the 1966 World Series with the LA Dodgers and Charm Cities Baltimore Orioles. There are Phantom tickets out there as well. Everyone knows how we did here. Orioles won 4 – 0 against the Dodgers. The WS MVP was also the AL MVP, Mr. Frank Robinson.

Day 293 – 20 October 2024
In 1969, MLB started a Championship Series. The Orioles played the Twins and won 3 games to 0. I am showing you the Program and Tickets for Games 1 and 2 of the ALCS. I am not familiar with the ALCS having a MVP. For whatever reason, I can’t seem to find a ticket for Game 3…always looking! The Orioles faced the Mets in the WS and lost 4 games to 1. The Program and tickets for the 5 games are shown. A Temporary Center Field Pavilion Ticket is also shown.

I found a few more Memorial Stadium Aisle Markers. Recently added#12,#16 and # 18. I found a extra #11 if anyone has one to trade. Always looking for more if anyone has one to sell or trade. Plenty of extra Oriole items to work with.

Day 294 – 21 October 2024
In 1970, the Orioles faced the Twins again in the ALCS. The Orioles won again 3 games to 0. I am showing you the two Programs for the ALCS and Tickets for Games 1 and 3. I can’t seem to find a ticket for Game 2. The Orioles faced the Reds in the WS and won 4 games to 1. I am showing you the Program and Tickets for all 5 games played. Brooks won the WS MVP.

Charlie,

I've been enjoying your Orioles World Series and Playoff programs the last few days. I think it's a shame the Orioles no longer print programs, especially considering they've been in the postseason the last couple years. Programs and tickets are some of the best collectibles from a game.

The 1960's and 70's produced a wide variety of programs during the Playoffs and World Series.

Here's seven additional programs from the 1966 World Series, the edition from Memorial Stadium plus six miscellaneous programs issued by newspapers and others. Most of these aren't too hard to find. The Equitable Trust scorecard is probably the toughest to locate.

Day 295 – 22 October 2024
In 1971, the Orioles made the ALCS for the 3d straight year facing the Oakland Athletics. As done in the past 2 years, the Orioles swept their opponent; 1971 it was the Athletics 3 games to 0. Today I am showing you the two programs and tickets for Games 1, 2 and 3 of the ALCS. The Orioles played the Pirates in the WS and lost 4 games to 3. Clemente played his heart out.
Today, I am showing you the Orioles Program and Tickets for Games 1 – 7.
