The 1972 Asheville Orioles finished the season 81-58 and won their division although they lost in the playoffs.

Notables include Cal Ripken Sr. (MGR), Paul Mitchell, Royle Stillman, Doug DeCinces, Dave Johnson (one of three Orioles to have that name), Mike Reinbach, Jim Fuller & Tim Nordbrook.

Also pictured is Mark Weems (who tragically drowned in Venezuela on New Years Day 1974 while out with Don Hood, Wayne Garland & Bob Bailor) and Don Hickey who has been mentioned by both Cal Jr. & Billy to me as being their favorite player when they were kids.



Their program was not a traditional one in that in was more like a folded scorecard with an insert:



For those who might be interested, here are Cal Jr.'s remembrance of that season in Ashville:
