Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

I did receive unexpected and sad news that one of my collector friends Alan Strout had passed away. He contributed so much to this thread as well as helped in a variety of ways off line since we met quite a number of years ago. He couldn�t be more helpful with his vast knowledge concerning the Orioles and their minor league partners. I�ll miss him greatly.

Thanks, Mark. I was so sad to hear this news last week. I believe his obituary is on his FB page. Like you, Alan was a constant and huge source of information on anything related to the Orioles. His knowledge on cards, scorecards, photos, post cards and the oddest of odd ball stuff was unmatched. I connected with him several years ago and �bothered� him at least weekly. He was a genuinely nice guy. He actually visited my home last year and I met with him this year during spring training. His knowledge and personality will be missed. His collection with scorecards and photos/postcards were unmatched. Prayers to his family. Thanks, Mark, for mentioning this.

Oh no, this is horrible news.......I know he hadn't posted much lately, but I figured that he hadn't acquired anything new.

Back in the spring of '23 I had the good fortune of going to a Spring Training game with him and afterwards going to his apartment (a short walk from Ed Smith Stadium) and seeing a portion of his amazing collection....

RIP Alan

So sorry to hear this. Alan was a true treasure. His knowledge of all things Orioles was amazing. RIP Alan. You are greatly missed.

Does anyone have any information on a promotion Brooks did with a "Team Nabisco All Stars"?

Hey Mark:

No, I think 2000. See attached.

I went to the 2131 30th Anniversary Game a couple weeks ago (which ended up being a great one) and was able to pick one of the game used bases the next day at their Authentics store:

Added my third AL AS Star Pennant at Memorial Stadium in 1958. Still looking for a NL version. Newest variant pennant is the maroon one at the top. Not sure if other colors exist.

Fred,

I'm not really sure on the year of this Old Timers Game. It has Team Nabisco on the jersey so it may not have been a fully sponsored event by Nabisco. I know I have a snapshot photo, but it's in a box somewhere in my closet (maybe) so I can't see if there's anything on the back of the photo. Possibly can narrow it down from the front of the snapshot.

Bill,

Very cool base for sure!

Charlie,

What cool pennants for the '58 AS game. Thanks for sharing.

It's most likely from 2000. Nabisco held a nationwide competition among Wal-Marts to increase sales of Nabisco products and the store in Cheektowaga NY won. As a result they got to play the Team Nabisco All-Stars in a charity game at Dunn Tire Park on August 5, 2000 before the start of the Bisons game. The Nabisco All-Stars won, 22-6. Yogi Berra was the manager. Robinson didn't play third in the game - he was coming off knee replacement surgery which matches with the photo. Brooks played right field - where he allowed an inside-the-park home run.
