Alan Strout
 

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

Rest Easy Alan, not many people who consistently only post useful good information and stay out of drama and other stuff.

Sad to hear this news and always enjoyed Alan’s posts.

Oh no, that is devastating news about Alan. RIP.
