A year of Lou Brock

[David W]

Cliff got it. I am totally unsure why they are like that, or if one is harder to find than the other.

[ALR-bishop]

I was aware of but had not collected the differences. I think maybe Doug Goodman here collected sets of both. Not sure about Larry S. I know they did the 64 Tattoos with different color wrappers. I just went for a single set of those as well

[David W]

1980 Liberty Matchbooks. There are a few other colors I haven't bothered to pick up.

[David W]

Jumping back a few years, here is the 76 Hostess Twinkie. It seems to be hard to find. It's the last of the Hostess cards I needed.

[David W]

This is most likely from 1980, as it lists Yaz with 3009 hits, which is what he had after the 1979 season. It is a 45 RPM record. No, I have not played it, I gave my turntable away a couple of years ago.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Nice record.

1981 McMillan Calendar.

[David W]

1979 Wall Schedule.

[David W]

Exhibit style card only it is 11x14. Not sure of the date, probably late 70's, early 80's. I've got several other players, they included active players at the time, as well as retired players.

I really love the odd-ball stuff that was put out; really neat Lou items. That record is so cool!

Al...what is the '67 piece?

[ALR-bishop]

An ash tray...or now maybe a candy tray

[nolemmings]

Somewhat interesting thing about that ashtray/candy tray Al--- it shows both Jack Lamabe and Al Jackson as pitchers. Lamabe was traded to the Redbirds on July 16, 1967 for a player to be named later, who ended up being Al Jackson three months later (10/13/67). Jackson was unceremoniously dumped the day after the World series ended.

[ALR-bishop]

That is interesting Todd. That tray always reminds me of two things.....how happy I was by then that we had traded Broglio to the Cubs for Brock ...and how sad I was immediately when later we traded Carlton to the Phils for Rick Wise

[David W]

Al's ashtray appears from time to time on Ebay, always priced fairly high, I've never gotten one.

This is a shopping bag from Lou Brock's Sport Shop at the airport.

1970's team issue cards.

[ALR-bishop]

So, who are the two guys in the dugout .

It looks like #23 and #27, which I think would likely be #23 Ted Simmons and #27 Dal Maxvill. That looks like it could be Dal Maxvill on the right, but it's definitely not Ted Simmons on the left.

[David W]

Some more 1970's team issue, this one in the envelope, although the envelope is about destroyed.

1964 Charlie James
1965, 1966 Tito Francona
1967 Jack Lamabe
1968 - on Ted Simmons

Maxvill had #27 for the entire period

[David W]

More 1970's team issue photos.

[David W]

2 more 1970's team issue photos. The one on the right looks like it was taken in someone's back yard.

[David W]

Continuing on in the genre "Black and white stadium/team photos, here is another one, looks like late 60's.

[David W]

1968 color team photo.

Yes, and then who would have thought he would have a better career than Denny McLain???????

1969 scorecard with autographs.

Oddly, the Reitz and McBride are clearly not from 1969.

The listed rosters of both the Cardinals and the Cubs on the back of the scorecard are clearly 1974 rosters. Is it possible the Cardinals used left over 1969 fronts and printed 1974 backs on them?

I scanned 2 different programs, so there is no mystery. One from 69 and one from 75.

[David W]

I am getting close to finishing up the 60's and 70's oddball stuff I've picked up over the last couple months. Early on I scanned a strip of 3 of these 1964 Transferettes with Brock, Elston, and Schaeffer. I recently picked up a whole sheet of them.

[ALR-bishop]

Going back to post # 3, Brock looks unhappy as a Cub. Heck, none of the above Cubs look happy. Kennedy appears to be practicing grin and bear it

[David W]

Another stadium team issue photo - 8x11 late 60's or early 70's.

[David W]

Some wire photos. I don't really collect them, there are a lot out there, but they were in a bulk lot of misc stuff I bought a while back. This one also has the newspaper clipping of the photo, I thought that was kind of cool.

[David W]

Another wire photo.

[David W]

A record book and Baseball Digest cover. I haven't even attempted to collect the magazine covers he is on, there are hundreds. I think I probably picked these up at yard sales or somewhere.

[David W]

1979 Lou Brock Day program. It is a fold out program, with stats and pictures and info on the inside.

[David W]

1980 Exhibits, all 3 colors.

[David W]

Iron on patch from the late 70's

[David W]

Stadium giveaway bobble head. Thank you Al for sending it to me several years ago.

[David W]

Marriott Palm Beach Bobble Head. I am not sure how this was given out

[ALR-bishop]

In that one he has a sort of creepy like Chucky smirk

And the controversy when Brock did not slide at home and was tagged out by Bill Freehan.

They actually both got Dodge Dart endorsements out of that play.

Dart made 2 postcards for promo purposes, one of Lou and one of Freehan.

Briggs and Stratton Bobble Head.

Cornflakes box, early 90's I think.
