1962 Tri City Braves
In post #995, I discussed the 1961 Tri City Braves/Atoms. In 1962, the Braves were a Co-Op team and not directly affiliated with the Orioles. A Co-Op team is one that borrows players from several to many different major league franchises. Over the years, the Orioles have been involved with a few co-op teams, mainly during the 1980's.
The Braves finished a respectable 78-62 in the Class B Northwest League. The Orioles would skip a few years and return to the Tri City area in 1965. While the LA Angels contributed the most players, at least a half dozen other teams were represented. The Orioles lent three players to the Braves. Joe Puleo, Paul Knechtges and Joe Petrikovic. None made it to the Orioles and I might be the only person that even cares. Here's the 1962 program along with a roster sheet that gives you an idea of the teams represented. If you check out the visitors roster, you'll find out that future Atlanta Braves player, Rico Carty started out as a catcher. 1962 Tri-City Braves.jpg SCAN8095.jpg The best part of the program is the photo of the 1961 Tri City team SCAN8097.jpg |
