today marks the 48th anniversary of Brooks retiring as an active player. He was on the roster (playing infrequently) however Rick Dempsey was coming off the DL and the club needed a roster spot (the announcement was made pregame and the Metropolitan Stadium crowd gave him a standing ovation)

Sad Day
Great photo! - I remember learning of his retiring as an active player that day in 1977. As a 9 year old kid, hearing my favorite player retired made me cry. I still have several scrapbook pages filled with newspaper reports about his retirement from the next day.

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.

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. |

Man, I didn’t know Brooks played any Old Timers Games in the 2000’s. I thought it would be late 90’s. I’m wondering if this was his last OT game as well.
I’m wondering if the above photo wearing a Nabisco jersey is a different game than the one I pictured. It appears he’s playing 3rd during the game, he’s wearing a light cap, where the above is a dark cap and definitely a different glove. |

Good morning,
Since the subject came up, I thought I'd post a store display from the 2000 Team Nabisco All-Stars promotion that I acquired a few years ago. Attachment 672783 |

1958 The Good Word Orioles Magazine
2 Attachment(s)
Good morning,
In 2020, Mark shared his copy of a 1957 The Good Word magazine with an Orioles team photo of the cover. The Good Word was a bi-monthly magazine put out by Gunther Beer. I recently found a May 1958 The Good Word magazine that also had an Orioles team photo on the cover. Brooks is the bottom right of the photo. Attachment 673085 Attachment 673084 |
1965 Bazooka Box Brooks Robinson
Scott, most folks won’t appreciate your Bazooka box from 1965 is a complete box and how rare that is. I am not an expert but have a little experience and appreciate its significance. Congratulations.

Love the unique items i've been seeing lately on here...
I finally was able to have this 1977 RC Cola Can (flat/never rolled) signed by Jim Palmer as he walked out of Camden Yards on 09/21... Funny thing is when he saw it he commented "that's an antique!" lol |
Great Stuff…
I’m with Bill; some great stuff here lately.
Mike - that Nabisco store display is super cool. I’m really about out of space in my small room so I only currently try to find smaller items, but that one would be an exception especially with the other greats pictured. That’s the first time I’ve seen The Good Word magazine you’ve pictured. I used to try and keep up with all the publications with Brooks on the front/back cover, but gave up some time ago. It’s really neat and unusual to see something I haven’t seen or even knew existed before. Bill - that is a great looking sign; very nice pickup. To me it seems like just yesterday the 2131 game occurred. I’m officially old (well have been technically). I tried to pick up some of those RC unused/unrolled cans years ago, but never did. The auto makes it even better in my view. John - great looking early autograph Brooksie postcard. Is there anything on the back? It doesn’t look like it was TTM, but checking. Neat to know what year it was signed. Scott - that is an amazing pickup. While I’m seen numerous ‘65 cutouts with Brooks I have never seen a full box. Definitely rare. |
Baltimore Orioles 1966 WS Bottle Opener
1 Attachment(s)
Thought to share a recent auction win. This bottle opener appears to be from 1966 or so celebrating the Baltimore Orioles World Series appearance. It measures 12 inches. Unique item. Not as exciting g as some of the other recent posts. Never saw it before.

The two Brooks Robinson cards I most covet are the Topps 1959 and 1960 ones.
:cool: |
To my knowledge the earliest known item from a martin family night. This program is to the 1962 Martin Family night, predating when they created special programs for the game. (See oriole gram)
And a 1965 Orioles score book with brooks on the front, I have seen a few but only a couple with Brooks, for some reason he is quite rare on the 1965 cover. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6ef4f1df58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1448da75b4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...12b6e5333d.jpg |
Martin Family Night
Thanks for sharing. I have quite a few things from Martin Family Night. I don’t have this program and the Orioles Gram. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff guys! The last several items have been awesome!

Sort of OT, but fits into the overall Orioles theme. I'm reading Ron Luciano's book, Strike Two, and Earl Weaver comes up a good amount.
This paragraph (starting with "But") was a basic summation of their history together, and the highlighted line made me laugh... Attachment 675497 |
